Asked by Blake
A bag of marbles contains 3 yellow marble, 3 red marbles, and 5 green marbles. If a marble is chosen, put back in the bag and then a second marble is chosen, what is the probability that both marbles will be red?
I think it is 2 red 10 all together 2:10
2/10 = 1/5
But I am not sure because it says both marbles will be red.

Since you are putting the marble back, the prob of the second event is the same as the first one.
Prob(red,red) = (2/10(2/10)
= 1/25
Prob(red,red) = (2/10(2/10)
= 1/25
