Answer:

6  = white marbles

4  = black marbles

10 =  total marbles

6/10 - Pulling white marbles

4/10 - Pulling black marbles

10 - 4 = 6

2/6 - Pulling two white marbles

2/6 = 1/3 = 0.33 or 33%

I hope this helped!

The probability of drawing a white marble on the first draw after following the second draw of white marble should be 0.33.

Given that

  • There are 6 white marbles.
  • There are 4 black marbles.
  • The total marbles are 10.

Now based on the above information

Put white marbles be [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex]

And, black marbles be [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

So,

= 10 - 4

= 6

Now pull two white marbles i.e.

[tex]= \frac{2}{6} \\\\= \frac{1}{3}\\\\= 33\%\ or\ 0.33[/tex]

Therefore we can conclude that The probability of drawing a white marble on the first draw after following the second draw of white marble should be 0.33.
