Question

A bag has 3 orange markers, 3 blue markers, and 2 red markers. You randomly choose one marker and then replace it. You then choose a second marker. What is the probability that you selected the orange marker and then the red marker?

Answer 1

I think that the total of the items are 8 and since there are 3 orange markers-the probability will be 3/8 or 37.5%. Since you took one out of the bag already, it becomes 7 markers in total and there are 2 red markers so 2/7=around 28.6%
