The probability to draw a blue tile on both draws is 16/225.

We have given that, Julio is drawing tiles from a bag of tiles from a bag of tiles like the ones shown below. He draws a tile, replaces it, and draws another tile.

There are 4 blue tiles out of 15 total.

The first draws a tile, so we get the probability of 4/15. Replace it again in the sample space and draw another tile then the probability is 4/15.

The total probability is given by,

Multiply (4/15)(4/15)=16/225.

The answer is 16/225.
