Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 red

3 blue

6 white

2 green

total 16 marbles.

Note: P(E) = probability of event E happening

P(~E) = probability of event E NOT happening.

We usually leave probabilities in fractions whenever possible because they will not be subject to round-off errors.

A. choose one marble at random.

P(W) = 6 white / 16 total = 3/8

B. choose one marble at random.

P(~R) = (16-5)/16 = 11/16

C. choose one marble at random, then a second one without replacement,

there will be 3 blue out of 16 at the beginning, then if successful, there will be 2 blue out of 15.

P(BB) = (3/16)*(2/15) = 1 / 40

D. choose two with replacement

5 red out of 16 for first draw, still 5 red out of 16 for second draw.

P(RR) = (5/16)^2 = 25/256
