A bag contains 10 red marbles, 7 green marbles. and 8 striped marbles. A marble is picked, then put back into bag. Find P(green and striped).

Respuesta :

G = number of green = 7

S = number of striped = 8

T = number total = 10+7+8 = 25

probability of picking green = P(G) = G/T = 7/25

probability of picking striped = P(S) = S/T = 8/25

P(green and striped) = P(G)*P(S)  ... events are independent

P(green and striped) = (7/25)*(8/25)

P(green and striped) = (7*8)/(25*25)

P(green and striped) = 56/625

P(green and striped) = 0.0896

--------------------------------

In summary, the answer as a fraction is 56/625

In decimal form, the answer is 0.0896

The value 0.0896 can be converted to percent form to get 8.96%
