I am completing a color sheet for my math class. I have a set of markers with 2 purples, 1 black, 3 reds, 2 yellows, and 2 blues. What is the probability that I will randomly select a red marker, keep it, and then randomly select a yellow marker?
A. 47/90
B. 3/10
C. 1/15
D. 2/9

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of purple markers = 2

Number of black marker = 1

Number of red markers = 3

Number of yellow markers = 2

Number of blue markers = 2

Total number of markers = 10

Probability to select randomly a red marker =

                                                                         =

Now we keep with us and randomly select a marker again.

So remaining markers with us = (10 - 1) = 9

Probability of the randomly selected marker to be yellow P(yellow)

=

=

Probability of both the events (selecting red AND yellow) = P(red) × P(yellow)

=

=

=

Therefore,Option (C) will be the answer.

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
