Answer 1

5 + 3 + 2 = 10 total marbles.

Steve picking a yellow one would be 3/10 (3 yellow / 10 total)

The marble is put back, so there will still be 7 marbles in the bag.

Sam picking a yellow one would then be the same as Steve: 3/10

The probability of them both picking yellow would be 3/10 x 3/10 = 9/100

Answer 2

Answer:

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Total: 5+3+2 = 10

3/10 × 3/10

9/100

0.09
