Answer:

c. 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The bag have 4 + 2 + 6 = 12 balls.

There are 2 red marbles, in 12, the probability to take one red is 2/12. Is important to remember that the first marble was replaced before the second outcome, so the chance for the second is also 2/12:

2/12 = 1/6 = 0.1666 ≈ 0.17

The expected value of the random variable that assigns  the number of red marbles to each outcome is 0.17.

What is the probability?

Probability is used to estimate how likely an event would happen. The probability the event occurs with certainty is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur with certainty is 0.

Expected value = number of red marbles / total number of marbles

2/12 = 0.17
