Jane has 38 marbles of the same shape and size in a box. The colors and amounts of the marbles are shown below:

Question

14 white marbles
9 gray marbles
15 blue marbles
Without looking in the box, Jane takes out a marble at random. She then replaces the marble and takes out another marble from the box. What is the probability that Jane takes out a gray marble in both draws? (5 points)

9 over 38 multiplied by 8 over 37 equal 72 over 1406

9 over 38 plus 8 over 37 equal 637 over 1406

9 over 38 plus 9 over 38 equal 684 over 1444

9 over 38 multiplied by 9 over 38 equal 81 over 1444

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

9/38 * 8/37 = 72/1406

So, the probability that Jane takes out a gray marble in both draws is 72/1406.
