<u>Problem</u>
A bag contains 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 9 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that two red marbles are drawn?
<u>Work </u>
Probability = no. of favorable outcomes /total no. of outcomes
Probability of getting a blue marble=5/5+6+9=5/20
Probability of getting a red marble=6/20−1=6/19
5/20×6/19
<u>Answer</u>
3/20
So it is C.
If 500 miles is represented by 7.5 inches:
Divide 500 by 7.5
500/7.5 = 66.666
Multiply this by 3.3
66.666*3.3 = 220
The answer is 220 miles
