Question

Suppose you choose a marble from a bag containing 4 red marbles, 2 white marbles, and 3 blue marbles. You return the first marble to the bag and then choose again. Find P(red then blue).

Answer 1

4/27

Explanation:

total number of marbles=9

probability of red=4/9

since you returned the first marble, the total number of marbles remains the same

prob(Blue)=(3/9)=1/3

P(red then blue)=(4/9)*(1/3)

=4/27
