Shane has a bag of marbles with 4 blue marbles, 3 white marbles, and 1 red marbles. Find the following probabilities of Shane drawing the given marbles from the bag if the first marble(s) is(are) not returned to the bag after they are drawn. (Give your answer as a fraction)

A).  A Blue, then a Red.

     = 4/8 * 1/7

     = 1/14

B). A Red, then a White.

     = 1/7 * 3/8

     = 3/56

C). A Blue, then a Blue, then another Blue.

   = 4/8 * 3/7 * 2/6

   = 1/14

Step-by-step explanation:

had to complete the question first.

Find the following probabilities of Derek drawing the given marbles from the bag if the first marble(s) is(are) not returned to the bag after they are drawn.

(a) A Blue, then a Red =  

(b) A Red, then a White =  

(c) A Blue, then a Blue, then a Blue =  

given data:

blue marble = 4

white marble = 3

red marble = 1

total marble = 8

solution:

probability of drawing

A).  A Blue, then a Red.

     = 4/8 * 1/7

     = 1/14

B). A Red, then a White.

     = 1/7 * 3/8

     = 3/56

C). A Blue, then a Blue, then another Blue.

   = 4/8 * 3/7 * 2/6

   = 1/14
