Answer: 4/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 2/91
Step-by-step explanation:
A bag contains 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles (15 marbles in total). You randomly select 3 marbles from the bag.
a) You replace each marble before selecting the next one.
The probability of selecting one blue marble is

then the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

b) You do not replace each marble before selecting the next one. Each time the number of blue marbles decreases by 1 and the total number of marbles decreases by 1 too. So the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

L = liz's age now
J = Jack's age now
L-1 and J-1 are their ages one year ago
L-1=3(J-1)
L-1=3J-3
L=3J-3+1
L=3J-2 (to be used later)
L+2 and J+2 are their ages in two years
L+2=2(J+2)
replace L by 3J-2
3J-2+2=2(J+2)
3J=2J+4
3J-2J=4
J=4 is Jack's age now
L-1=3(J-1)
L-1=3(4-1)
L-1=3*3
L-1=9
L=9+1
L=10 is Liz's age now
