A bag contains 4 red, 2 blue, 6 green, and 8 white marbles. What is the probability of selecting a white marble at random from this bag, not replacing the marble, and then selecting another white marble? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.
a. 14%
b. 14.7%
c. 16%
d. 16.8%
Being that there is 4 red, 2 blue, 6 green, 8 white, that means there is 20 marbles, with 8 success, 8/20. Since the marble is not replaced, that drops it to 7/19 for the second pull. Multiply these together and you get 14.7%.
(8/20)*(7/19)=.147
.147*100=14.7
