Question

A jar contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 5 white marbles. What is the probability of drawing first a red and then, without replacement, a white marble? 5/44 5/48 31/44

Answer 1

5/44.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer would be 5/44.
Drawing red first- 3/ 3 + 4 + 5
= 3/12 Reduced to 1/4.
Drawing white second- 5/ 2 + 4 + 5
= 5/11
Drawing red and then, without a replacement, a while marble- 1/4 x 5/11 = 5/44.
Hope this helps.
