A bag contains 3 red, 5 blue, and 4 white marbles. If a marble is drawn from the bag, not replaced, and another is drawn, what is the probability of selecting a white and then blue marble?

Sagot :

Answer:

5/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a white marble is 4/12 = 1/3(because we have 4 white marbles and 12 marbles in total )

The probability of selecting a blue marble is 5/11 (because we have 5 blue marbles and 11 marbles left(1 has been drawn already) )

Probability of selecting a white and then blue marble equals 1/3*5/11 = 5/33
