I could be wrong, but since there are 9 marbles altogether and only 2 red marbles, i'd say 2/9. But, like i said, i could be wrong.

it says its 4/81... kinda confusing but ok

np

each draw has chance of 2/9
so two draws has chance of 2/9 * 2/9 = 4/81
i need tp for my bunghole
oooh. makes sense now. So (2/9)^2?
