Amber has a bag of 24 marbles.7 are red, 5 are blue, and the rest are green.James takes two marbles out without replacing them. What is the probability that they are both blue?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\frac{5}{138}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amber has 24 marbles

7 are red, 5 are blue,

[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex]24-12=12 is green

[tex]\text{Probability}=\text{chosing a blue marble out of 24 }\times \text{Chosing another blue out of 23}\\P=\frac{5}{24}\times \frac{4}{23}=\frac{5}{138}[/tex]

Amber has 24 marbles. 7 are red, 5 are blue. The probability that they are both blue = 5/ 138.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Amber has 24 marbles. 7 are red, 5 are blue.

The number of green marbles

24 - 12 = 12 is green

The probability that they are both blue

= choosing of blue marbles from 24 x choosing of blue marbles from 23

= 5/ 24 x 4/ 23

= 5/ 138
