1/15

A. It is the product of 4/10 and 3/9

OpenStudy (markkboyy):

okay

OpenStudy (sql_server):

OpenStudy (markkboyy):

so it its all wrong

OpenStudy (robtobey2):

Sorry, my solution posting was incorrect.

OpenStudy (sql_server):

Total no of marbles = 10 No. Of red marbles = 3 Probability of getting a red in the first attempt is 3/10 In the second attempt, only 9 marbles are left and of which only 2 are red. Now the probability of getting another red becomes 2/9 So the probability of getting 2 consecutive reds is (3/10)*(2/9)=1/15
