Question

A jar has 5 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles. what is the probability that you would choose a red marble, return it, then choose a green Marble?

Answer 1

In Fraction = 10/100 simplified = 1/10

Decimal = 0.1

Percentage = 10%

Explanation:

We add all marbles = 5+ 3+ 2 = 10

Event 1 = Red = 5/10

Event 2 = Green = 2/10

We follow this path and multiply = 2 x 5 / 10 x 10 = 10/100 = 1/10
