Question

A large purple bowl contains 5 blue marbles and 3 pink marbles. What is the probability a blue marble is drawn, replaced, and a second blue marble is drawn?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{25}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Marbles =5

Pink Marbles =3

Total =3+5=8

Probability of drawing two marbles with replacement

=P(First Blue Marble AND Second Blue Marble)

=P(First Blue Marble) X P(Second Blue Marble)

$=\frac{5}{8}X \frac{5}{8}\\\\=\frac{25}{64}$
