The probability that the outcome is red then yellow is 0.036.
Given that in a jar there are 8 red marbles, 1 yellow marble and 6 green marbles.
We are required to find the probability of obtaining a red then yelow marble if two marbles are drawn and replacement is used.
Probability is the calculation of finding the chance of happening a event among all the events possible. It lies between 0 and 1.
Probability=Number of items/ Total items.
Number of red marbles=8
Number of yellow marble=1
Number of green marbles=6
Total marbles=15
Probability of obtaining red marble=8/15
Probability of obtaining yellow marble=1/15 (Because replacing is there so the number of total marbles do not decrease)
Required probability=8/15*1/15
=8/225
=0.035555
After rounding off we will get 0.036.
Hence the probability that the outcome is red then yellow is 0.036.
Question is incomplete. The following line should be included in question:
