Abag contains 5 blue marbles and 8 orange marbles. polly draws a marble from the bag and keeps the marble. perry then draws a marble from the bag. what is the probability that both polly and perry draw an blue marble from the bag? 5/39 39/5 9/25 1

There are a total of 13 marbles in the bag. (5 blue marbles and 8 orange marbles)

We know that Polly draws first. She draws the marble from the bag and keeps the marble. Now, let "A" be the event that Polly draws a blue marble from the bag. Then the probability of the event A occurring will be given by:

Now, given that Polly has already drawn a blue marble from the bag we know that the total number of marbles in the bag will now get reduced by 1 and thus will become 12. Likewise, the total number of blue marbles will become 4.

Let "B" be the event that Perry draws a blue marble from the bag. The probability of the event B occurring is:

Thus, the the probability that both Polly and Perry draw an blue marble from the bag will be given by:

P(A and B)=
