These marbles are placed in a bag and two

of them are randomly drawn.
What is the probability of drawing two
yellow marbles if the first one is placed back
in the bag before the second draw?

Answer:

2/10 * 2/10 = 1/25

Explanation:

Suppose you have 10 marbles in a bag. 5 black , 2 pink and 3 blue

As if two pink marbles are selected then for one pink marble probability = event occurred / total outcome = 2/10

Similar probability for an other pink marbles Probability for the drawing two pink marbles is P = 2/10 * 2/10 = 1/25
