Jar contains 16 red marbles and 21 blue marbles. If reach and pull 2 what is the probability both red

1 answer

There are a total of 37 marbles in the jar.

The probability of choosing a red marble on the first draw is 16/37.

After the first red marble is drawn, there are 15 red marbles left and a total of 36 marbles left. So the probability of choosing another red marble on the second draw is 15/36.

To find the probability of both events happening (drawing two red marbles in a row), we multiply the probabilities:

(16/37) x (15/36) = 0.1148 or approximately 11.48%.

So the probability of reaching in the jar and pulling out two red marbles is 11.48%.
