3. A map pencil drawer contains the following colors: 5 Purple, 3 Yellow,

and 9 Blue. A map pencil will be randomly selected from the drawer ana
then replaced. Then another map pencil will be randomly selected from
the drawer. What is the probability that a purple will be selected both
times? *
5/17
10/17
25/289
10/34

Answer 1

add up all the numbers together
it’ll give you 17
since they’re asking abt the probability of a purple being chosen twice, multiply 5 by 2 to give you 10
so 10/17
