Question

A bag contains 5 red, 8 black, 7 purple, and 10 yellow marbles. what is the probability of first selecting a purple marble, replaced gn it and then selecting a red marble?

Answer 1

7/30 purple and 5/30 red or 1/6 red

Explanation:

if u have a total of 30 marbles and 7 are puple the odds are 7/30 and if u put it back and take out another one the odds of getting a red are 5 out of 30 because there are still 30 and 5 out of the 30 are red but 5/30 = 1/6
