There is a bag filled with 5 blue, 2 red and 3 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is not replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting 2 the same colour?

Answer:

2/9 + 5/36 = 17/36

So the probability of getting 2 marbles of the same color is 17/36 or 0.472.
