The probability  that both marbles she chooses are blue is 2/15

Given : A bag contains 10 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 4 are blue. Christine chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random.

To find : What is the probability that both marbles she chooses are blue?

Solution :

Total number of marbles = 10

Green marbles = 4

Red marbles = 2

Blue marbles = 4

Probability is favorable outcome upon total number of outcomes.

Probability of getting first marble is blue.

P (first  blue marble) = 4/10 = 2/5

Without replacement,

i.e. Blue marble left = 3

Total marble left = 9

Probability of getting second marble is blue.

P (second  blue marble) = 3/9 =1/3

The probability that both marbles she chooses are blue is

P (both blue marbles) = 2/5 x 1/3

P (both blue marbles) = 2/15
