Question

A jar contains 5 green, 3 blue, 15 red, and 3

yellow Skittles. A Skittle is randomly drawn, is replaced, then another is
drawn. Find the probability of blue, then a yellow.

Answer 1

9/676

Explanation:

Since there are 26 skittles altogether, the probability of selecting a blue skittle is 3/26, and the probability of selecting a yellow skittle is 3/26.

Since the question requires both a blue ball and a yellow ball to be selected, and the blue must be selected first and then the yellow, the probability is

(3/26) x (3/26) = 9/676
