Question

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 8 blue marbles and 2 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the exact probability that both marbles drawn will be red?

Answer 1

No it’s 2/13 because it asked for the probability of 2 marbles not 3

Answer 2

`(3)/(13)`

Explanation:

First you need to find how many marbles there are in total, so 3+8+2= 13

The probability of the marble being red is
`(3)/(13)` then

Hope this helps! :)
