blue. A marbles is drawn at random from each box. Fin the probability that:
(a) both marble are red.
(b) one is red and one is blue.

Answer 1

I say the answer is A.

Explanation:

The reason I say A is because in each box, they have more red than blue. It isn't possible that you can't pick blue but, it unlikely to pick. That's like saying you have 20 yellow marble and 4 purple marbles. It is unlikely to pick a purple marble but not certain or impossible.
