Question

A bag has 2 yellow, 7 red, and 1 green marble. What is the probability of picking a red marble, replacing it, and then picking another red marble?

Answer 1

Total # of marbles: 10

# of red marbles: 7

Probability of choosing a red marble out of 10 marbles: 7/10

Then in the second round, you replace that marble so you still have a total of 10 marbles and 7 of them will still be red: 7/10

Multiply...

7/10 x 7/10 = 49/100

PROBABILITY: 49/100 (or 49%)
