Algebra.Com's Answer #390449 by math-vortex(648)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, there-- \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "You have a bag with 12 cubes; 6 of them are red. The probability of getting a red cube on the first draw is 6/12, or 1/2. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "You replace the cube, so the probability is the same on the second draw, 6/12, or 1/2. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "So the probability of drawing two red cubes, with replacement, is (1/2)*(1/2)=1/4. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps!
