A bag contains 2 red marbles 3 green marbles and 5 blue marbles Elizabeth draws a marble from the bag replaces the marble and draws another marble What is the p class=

Respuesta :

2 red, 3 green, 5 blue....total of 10 marbles
P(1st one is red) = 2/10 which reduces to 1/5
replaces the marble
P(2nd one is red) = 2/10 which reduces to 1/5

P(both red) = 1/5 * 1/5 = 1/25
