Question

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 5 white marbles. What is the probability of pulling out a white marble, and then a blue marble if none are replaced?

Answer 1

let's see
we have 5 white marbles
and a total of 12 marbles

Answer 2

so the probability of getting a white marble is \(\dfrac{5}{12}\)

Answer 3

when you take the white marble out and don't replace it, the total changes to 11

Answer 4

you have 4 blue marbles and a total of 11 marbles
\(\dfrac{4}{11}\)

Answer 5

now to find out the probability of pulling out a white marble and then a blue marble is
\(\dfrac{5}{12}*\dfrac{4}{11}\)

@cadeneveah11 multiply that for me
