If there are 50 red and blue marbles in a jar, and the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2:3, what is the probability that, drawing twice, you will select two red marbles if you return the marbles after each draw?
[ "A)1/25", "B)2/25", "C)3/25", "D)4/25" ]
D
50 red and blue marbles in a jar, and the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2:3 So, 5x=50 ---> x=10 Red marbles = 2*x = 2*10 = 20 Blue marbles = 3*x = 3*10 = 30 Prob to select a red marble = 20/50 = 2/5 Prob to select 2 red marbles with replacement = 2/5*2*5 = 4/25 Hence, answer will be D.
