A bag contains 3 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are
drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 100oth, that both
marbles drawn will be blue?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.218

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event.

According to the word problem, of the 15 marbles, there are 7.

Since there are 7 blue marbles, the expected outcome of both events is 7.

The probability of the first blue marble is 7/15.

The probability of the second blue marble is 7/15.

To find the probability of both marbles being drawn, we must multiply both fractions.

Like this,

7/15 ⋅ 7/15 = 49/225.

49/225 in decimal form is 0.21777778

0.21777778 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.218.

Therefore, the probability of two blue marbles being drawn out of the bag is 0.218.
