Question

Please help me with this question. I don’t understand how to do this.

Answer 1

Answer:

133/152

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of 2 independent events is the product of the individual events.  Independent means the first event has no effect on the probability of the second event.  Since we are replacing the first marble, the first even has no effect on the probability of the second event.  

There are 48 total marbles

Let A = pulling a blue marble

Let B = pulling a red marble

So

P(A) = 14/48

P(B) = 19/48

and

P(A then B) = (14/48)(19/48) = 266/2,304 = 133/1,152
