There are 6 orange marbles, 2 red marbles, 3 white marbles, and 4 green marbles in a bag. Once a marble is drawn, it IS replaced. Find the probability of selecting 2 orange marbles in a row P(orange, orange). Write your answer as a simplified fraction

Respuesta :

The probability of selecting two orange marbles with replacement is 36/169.

Data;

  • Orange= 6
  • Red = 2
  • Green = 4

Probability with replacement

Since after each draw, the orange marble is replaced.

The total number of marbles in the bag is

6+3+4 = 13

And the number of orange marbles is 6.

For the first selection, the probability of selecting one orange is

[tex]P = \frac{6}{13}[/tex]

After drawn and replaced, the probability of selecting another marble is

[tex]P = \frac{6}{13}[/tex]

And the probability of selecting two orange marbles with replacement is

[tex]P = \frac{6}{13} * \frac{6}{13} = \frac{36}{169}[/tex]

The probability of selecting two orange marbles with replacement is 36/169.
