A bag contains 7 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, replacing them after each draw, what is the EXACT (simplified fraction) probability that both marbles drawn will be green?

P = (5/15) x (5/15)

= (1/3) x (1/3)

= 1/9

The probability they will both be green is 1/9 or 1 in 9.
