You are given a bag of jelly beans. There are 7 red, 8 blue, 4 yellow, and 10 pink. Find the probability of drawing 2 blue in a row with replacement. (You replace the jelly bean back in the bag after you choose it.)

Write your answer in decimal form.
Round to three decimal places.

Okay so the probability of drawing a blue bean is

8 / 29 = .276

29 is the total number of jelly beans

When we have replacement, we do not reduce the number of total jelly beans, so the probably of drawing blue stays the same.

But to find the probability of drawing a blue two times in a row, we must square the probability .

(.276) • (.276) = 0.076

Your answer is 7.6% !
