Answer:B)
(14)/(95)

Explanation:

Step 1: list down the probability of the marbles,

you will get the probability

of
(3)/(5) for the blue marbles and
(2)/(5) for the red ones .

Step 2: Forget about the blue marbles and focus on the red marbles

On the first pick of marbles the probability of getting a red marble is
(2)/(5) but then you didn't replace the marble so now you have only 19 marbles as your total.

Step 3: lets say you picked a red marble on the first pick now you only have 7 red marbles out of 19 marbles (minus the red marble you picked -> step 2)

so the probability of getting a red marble on the second pick is
(7)/(19)

Step 4: multiply the probabilities of both the first and second pick

it will look like this


(2)/(5) ×
(7)/(19)

^ ^

first pick second pick

Note : You will only minus your probability and number of "marbles "( in this case ) if the question says "without replacing "

final answer :
(14)/(95)

Ok so you would just take the two fractions and simply if needed and that the answer!
