OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, so I try to be nice back, is it ok? tell me total how many marbles do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (loser66):

2 white and 7 purple , right? so probability of drawing white is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/9

OpenStudy (loser66):

and after take it out , how many do you have left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (loser66):

back to the first question, probability to draw a purple is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/9

OpenStudy (loser66):

you got it, after take out 1, you have 8 left, and the probability to draw out a white at that moment is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/8 or 2/8 ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

get out just purple, the whole white there, that means 2/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (loser66):

1/9 for picking out purple, 2/8 for picking out white, so combine them by,...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adding

OpenStudy (loser66):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really honestly

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, I am not sure , too. give me few minutes, I check on my note

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[P(p,w) = \frac{7}{9}*\frac{2}{8} = \frac{7}{36}\] \[P(w,w) = \frac{2}{9}*\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{36}\] \[P(p,p) = \frac{7}{9}*\frac{6}{8} = \frac{21}{36}\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

thanks.... a.....ton. .
