You have a jar of marbles with 7 red, 12 blue, 6 yellow, and 9 white. What is the probability of selecting a marble that is not red, replacing it and then one that
is white?​

Answer :

Answer:

The probability of selecting a marble that is not red, replacing it and then one that  is white is 0.2102

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 7

Number of blue marbles = 12

Number of yellow marbles = 6

Number of white marbles = 9

Total marbles = 7+12+6+9=34

Probability of selecting red marble =[tex]\frac{7}{34}[/tex]

Probability of selecting no red marble = [tex]1-\frac{7}{34}=\frac{27}{34}[/tex]

Now replacing it one marble is drawn again

So, Probability of getting white marble [tex]=\frac{9}{34}[/tex]

So,the probability of selecting a marble that is not red, replacing it and then one that  is white =[tex]\frac{27}{34} \times \frac{9}{34}=0.2102[/tex]

Hence the probability of selecting a marble that is not red, replacing it and then one that  is white is 0.2102
