Question 1202356: Suppose a jar contains 8 red marbles and 32 blue marbles. If you reach in the jar and pull out 2 marbles at random one at a time, without replacement, find the probability that both are red. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! thre are a total of 8 red and 32 blue marbled in the jar for a total of 40.
the probability that the first one is red is equal to 8 / 40.
the probability that the second one is red is equal to 7 / 39.
the probability that both are red is equal to 8/40 * 7/39
