7/15 for blue marbles and 8/14 for the purple marbles this is dependent probability
Im not good at explaining things but here's an example. If I have 5 red marbles and 6 blue marbles in a bag and I pick one out. I then choose another marble without returning the first marble to the bag. Hope this helps.
Probability of drawing a blue marble first is 4 in 8 (or 50%) Probability of drawing a blue marble second is 3 in 7 (or 42.85714%) Probablility of drawing blue then blue is the two above multiplied 0.5 * 0.4285714 Which is 0.212142407 or 21% or One in Five.
sure chance
The probability is 2/15.

1 out of 15 Probab. = Prob. of red x Prob. of blue Probab. = (3/10)x(2/9) = 5/90 = 1/15

Since the box contains 16 marbles, seven of them white, then the probability of drawing one white marble is 7/16. If you replace the marble and draw again, the probability of drawing another white marble is still 7/16. The net probability of drawing two white marbles, while replacing the first, is 49/256.

marbles were originally made from the stone, marble. so even after people started making them out of glass they kept the name marbles. I have an old marble marble.
Because you are replacing the marbles then it is an independent event. P(1st one is not green) = 1 - P(first green), equally P(2nd one is not green) = 1 - (second green), Thus it reads P(¬G ^ ¬G) = P(¬G) * P(¬G) = 15/20 * 15/20 = 225/400 = 9/16
There are 13 marbles in total. The order is specified.P(1st is white and the 2ndis purple) = (7/13)(6/12) = (7/13)(1/2) = 7/26.
The probability of selecting a red marble is 3/9
