Answer:

1 / 9

Explanation:

Choosing with replacement means that the first draw from the lot is replaced before another is picked '.

Number of Blue marbles = 2

Number of red marbles = 4

Total number of marbles = (2 + 4) = 6

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

1st draw :

Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1 /3

2nd draw :

Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1/3

P(1st draw) * P(2nd draw)

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
