Question

A bag contains 5 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 4 green marbles if two marbles are drawn out of the bag what is the probability to the nearest 1000th that both marbles drawn will be red?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.083 probability that both are red

Step-by-step explanation:

total marbles = 5  + 7 + 4 = 16

Two marbles drawn out.

Find P(red, and red) =  (5/16) * (4/15) = 1/(3*4) = 1/12 = 0.08333
