Question 654866: A bag contains 7 red marbles, 8 blue marbles and 2 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 1000th, that both marbles drawn will be blue? Answer by DrBeeee(684) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 8 blue marbles and a total of 17 marbles. The P(blue) = 8/17,
The P(blue, blue) = (8/17)*(7/16) or
P(b,b) = 7/34 = 0.20588
Answer is 0.206
