The probability of drawing two reds, with replacement, is the same as the probability of drawing a red, times itself. So:

P(drawing two reds) = P(drawing a red)2 = (12/(2 + 12 + 6))2 = (12/20)2 = (3/5)2 = 9/25

If a box contains 4 red marbles seven white and 5 blue and two marbles are drawn one at a time with replacement What is the probability that both marbles are white?

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.


When a bag contains 4 white chips and 6 black chips. What is the probability of randomly choosing a white chip not replacing it and then randomly choosing another white chip?

To find the probability of choosing two white chips in succession without replacement, we first calculate the probability of selecting a white chip on the first draw. There are 4 white chips out of a total of 10 chips, so the probability of the first draw is 4/10. After removing one white chip, there are 3 white chips left out of a total of 9 chips, making the probability of the second draw 3/9. Therefore, the overall probability of drawing two white chips in succession is (4/10) * (3/9) = 12/90, which simplifies to 2/15.


Given eight students four of which are females if two students are selected at random without replacement what is the probability that both students are female?

The probability of selecting 1 female at random is 4/8 There are now 7 students, 3 of which are female so the probability of selecting another female is 3/7 The probability two randomly selected students are female is (4/8)x(3/7)= 3/14


When an event's probability depends on the likelihood of another event. the probability is what?

It is dependent.


There were 6 purple socks and 4 orange socks in a drawer Zucky picked one sock without looking and then another without looking replacing the first what is the probability that he picked 2 purple?

Probability of picking purple sock first time is 6/10 or 3/5, second time, probability is 5/9. Thus 3/5 * 5/9 = 15/45 which cancels to 1/3

A bag contains 8 marbles 4 are blue 3 are green and one is orange you draw out one marble and then another without replacing the first marble Find the probability of drawing 2 blue marbles?

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.

What is the probability that you select an ace given that you have already selected an ace?

If you have already selected an ace from a standard deck of 52 cards, there are now 51 cards left in the deck, including 3 remaining aces. The probability of selecting another ace from the remaining cards is therefore 3 out of 51, or ( \frac{3}{51} ), which simplifies to ( \frac{1}{17} ).
