Each evening Marissa returns the bracelet to her jewelry box. Marissa chooses a purple bracelet three days in a row Does this change the probability of selecting a purple bracelet?

Answer 1

The fact that Marissa chooses a purple bracelet three days in a row does not change the probability of selecting a purple bracelet, because Marissa returns the bracelet to her jewelry box every evening.
