Question

there is a bag filled with 5 blue, 6 red and 2 green marbles. a marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced. another marble is taken at random. what is the probability of getting 2 blues?

Answer 1

25/169

Explanation:

We have 13 marbles ( 5+6+2)

P (blue ) = blue marbles/ total marbles = 5/13

P (blue ,blue) = 5/13* 5/13 since the marble is replaced

= 25/169
