She selects a second marble from the jar. What is the probability that both marbles are​ red? What is the correct interpretation of this​ question?

Respuesta :

The probability that both marbles are​ red will be 0.055.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences. The probability is given as,

P = (Favorable event) / (Total event)

A jar full of marbles is kept by Li. There are 16 purple marbles, 10 red marbles, and 15 blue marbles in the jar. A stone is chosen at random by her from the jar. She leaves the marble alone. She takes another stone out of the jar.

The total number of event = 16 + 10 + 15 = 41

Then the probability of both marble should be red will be given as,

P = (10 / 41) x (9 / 40)

P = 0.055

Thus, the probability that both marbles are​ red will be 0.055.
