Question

Jared has a bag that contains 8 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, and 10 green marbles. He selects a marble, replaces it in the bag, and then selects another marble. What is the probability that both marbles are green?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 17.36%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to find the probability of pulling one green marble. You can do this by dividing the number of marbles by the amount of marbles in the bag.

10/24 = 41.67%

Now in order to find the likelihood of doing this twice, you multiply that number by itself.

41.67% *41.67% = 17.36%
