A jar contains 5 green marbles and 3 orange marbles. You randomly choose a marble from the jar. After replacing the marble, you choose a second marble. What is the probability that both marbles are orange?
---------------
Because you replaced the marble after selecting the first, the
results of the two selections are independent.
P(orange and orange) = 3/8 *3/8= 9/64
