Question

14. There are 12 marbles in a bag. Of these, Four of them are blue and the rest are green. You reach into the bag and take out two marbles without looking. What is the probability that both marbles are blue? Round to the nearest whole percent.​

Answer 1

24?

Explanation:

Answer 2

The probability that both marbles drawn will be blue is approximately 9%.

How to find the probability ?

Calculate the probability of drawing the first blue marble: There are 4 blue marbles out of 12 total marbles, so the probability of drawing a blue marble on the first draw is 4/12.

The probability of drawing a blue marble on the second draw, without replacement, is 3/11.

To find the overall probability of both events happening, multiply the probabilities from steps 1 and 2 together:

= (4/12) * (3/11)

= 12/132

= 1 / 11

= 9. 09 %

= 9 % to the nearest percent
