corrected question:A jar contains two blue and five green marbles. A marble is drawn at random and then replaced. A second marble drawn at random. For each of the following, find the probability that: a) both marbles are blue b) both marbles are the same color c)the marbles are different in color
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The probability was done with replacement.</em></u>
Probaility of an event happening
number of blue marbles= 2
number of green marbles=5
total number of marbles=7
(a) probability that both marbles are blue = pr(first is blue)*pr(second is blue)
(b)probability that both marbles are the same color =pr(first is blue)*pr(second is blue) + Pr(first is green)*Pr(second is green)
(c)Probability that the marbles are different in colors=pr(first is blue)*pr(second is green) + Pr(first is green)*Pr(second is blue)
