Answer 1

Answer:

0.906

Step-by-step explanation:

Red marbles = 6

Blue marbles = 10

White marbles = 11

8 random marbles are picked out

Probability of:

Red marbles = 2/6 = 1/3

Blue marbles = 3/10

White marbles = 3/11

2/6 + 3/10 = 6x5=30 and 10x3=30

5x2 = 10

10/30

3x3 = 9

9/30

10/30 + 9/30 = 19/30

19/30 + 3/11 = 299/330

299/330 as a decimal is 0.90606
