ASAP!!! There are three marbles in a bag. One is red and two are black. What is the probability of picking a red marble first, putting it back in the bag and then picking a black marble? Use the following probably need to find the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of picking a red marble first then replacing it and getting a black marble is 2/9. (The last option.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The probability of first getting a red marble is 1/3 since we have 1 red marble out of 2 + 1 = 3 total.

We put the marble back. The probability of then choosing a black marble is 2/3, since we have 2 black marbles out of 3 total.

So we get 1/3 * 2/3 = 2/9

The probability of picking a red marble first then replacing it and getting a black marble is 2/9. (The last option.)
