Final answer:

The probability of drawing both red marbles is (9/100).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of drawing both red marbles, we need to find the probability of drawing a red marble on the first draw and a red marble on the second draw.

There are 3 red marbles out of a total of 10 marbles in the bag. So, the probability of drawing a red marble on the first draw is 3/10.

Since there is replacement, the probability of drawing another red marble on the second draw is also 3/10.

Therefore, the probability of both events happening is (3/10) × (3/10) = (9/100).
