Answer 2

Can anyone help?? @bahrom7893 @Krishnadas

Answer 3

The probability of the simultaneous occurrences of two independent events is the product of the probabilities of each event. So for the first jar the probability of drawing a blue marble is 4/20 or 1/5. For the second it is 25/100 or 1/4. Multiplied together, it equals 1/20.

Answer 4

Oh ok so the answer is 1/20? Thank you @incognito :)
