Question

A bag contains a white, a red, and a blue marble. If one marble is drawn randomly from a bag, not replaced, and a second marble is drawn, display all possible outcomes as an organized list.

Answer 1

To answer the student's question, we list each possible pair of marble colors drawn without replacement from a bag with a white, red, and blue marble: White-Red, White-Blue, Red-White, Red-Blue, Blue-White, and Blue-Red.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the display of all possible outcomes when two marbles are drawn from a bag containing a white, a red, and a blue marble, without replacement. To show all possible outcomes, we can list them in an organized manner, considering each color once it is drawn, is not put back into the bag. The first marble drawn can be any one of the three colors. Once a marble is drawn, there are only two colors left for the second draw.

• White, Red
• White, Blue
• Red, White
• Red, Blue
• Blue, White
• Blue, Red
