Question

A jar contains 5 red marbles and 8 white marbles . Event A = drawing a white marble on the first draw Event B = drav drawing a red marble on the second draw If two marbles are drawn from the jar , one after the other without replacement , what is P(AandB) expressed in simplest form?


a: 3/13

b: 10/39

c: 5/12

d: 8/13

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) $\dfrac{10}{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 5

Number of white marbles = 8

Total =8+5=13

Event A = drawing a white marble on the first draw

Event B = drawing a red marble on the second draw

P(A)=8/13

P(B)=5/12

Therefore:

P(A and B)

$=\dfrac{8}{13} \times \dfrac{5}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{10}{39}$
