Answer:

  • 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Red = 4, Blue = 3

Total number of marbles is

  • 3 + 4 = 7

Probability of getting 2 of the same color is

  • P(2 same) = P(red, red) + P(blue, blue)

Probability of 2 reds is:

  • P(red, red) = 4/7*3/6 = 2/7

Probability of 2 blues is:

  • P(blue, blue) = 3/7*2/6 = 1/7

Required probability is

  • P(2 same) = 2/7 + 1/7 = 3/7
