Answer:

0.0306

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if there is any significance to both being drawn at the same time. I'm going to say there isn't.

The first draw gives

9/49

Their is no replacement. That's because both marbles are drawn together. The second draw is

8/48

P(both red) = 9/49 * 8 / 48 = 3/98 = 0.03061 which rounds to 0.0306
