A bag contains 4 green marbles, 3 red marbles, and 7

blue marbles. One marble is taken from the bag and put

back after checking its color. A second marble is then

taken out. What is the probability that the first is blue

and the second red?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/28

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 14 marbles in the bag.  So, the probability of choosing a blue marble is 7/14 or 1/2.  Since the first marble is replaced, the  bag still has 14 marbles in it.  Then the  probability of choosing a red marble is 3/14.  The probability of choosing the blue, then the red is 1/2 x 3/14 = 3/28
