box a contains 12 red 16 blue marbles 11 green and 5 yellow marbles box b contains 8 red 7 green 11 blue and 1 yellow if you randomly pick one item from each box what is the probability that both items will be blue
-------
For the 1st box, it's 16/44 - 16 blue of 44 total
For the 2nd box, it's 11/27 - 11 blue of 27 total
---
(16/44)*(11/27) = 4/27
