a bag contains 13 marbles of which 10 are red. A marble is selected at random and replaced. A second marble is then selected at random. What is the probability that both marbles are red?

can some one please help me
The prob of red for the first marble is 10/13
since you are returning it, the second try has the same probability
so ...
(10/13)(10/13) = 100/169
