Suppose a jar contains 12 red marbles and 12 blue marbles. If you reach in the jar and pull out 2 marbles at random, find the probability that both are red

Respuesta :

The probability that both are red marbles is 0.2391

How to determine the probability?

The given parameters are:

Red =12

Blue = 12

Total = 24

The probability of selecting the first red marble :

P(Red) = 12/24

Now, there are 11 red marbles and 23 marbles in all

The probability of selecting the second red marble :

P(Red) = 11/23

The required probability is:

P =  12/24 * 11/23

Evaluate

P = 0.2391

Hence, the probability that both are red marbles is 0.2391
