Question

Another marble is taken at random.

Answer 1

3 of 7 and the chances of getting red is 4 of 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 9/49

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction 3/7 represents the probability of picking a blue marble since there are 3 blues out of 3+4 = 7 total.

Because the first marble is put back, this means the probability of picking blue does not change. So 3/7 is the probability of picking another blue marble.

Overall, we have (3/7)*(3/7) = 9/49 as the probability of picking two blues in a row.
