0.2727 = 27.27% probability that both are red.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the marbles are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve.

Combinations formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

Desired outcomes:

2 red marbles, from a set of 18. So

Total outcomes:

Two marbles from a set of 18 + 16 = 34. So

Probability:

0.2727 = 27.27% probability that both are red.

step-by-step explanation:

the options are kind of confusing. i can tell you what i see going on here when i look at the graph.

the class and exam medians are closely related, and it looks like the low outlier on the exam did pull the median lower. [tex][/tex]
