Answer:
The probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the number of yellow marbles = 6
Black marbles = 4
Purple marble = 2
Now find the total number of marbles in the jar.
Thus total marbles = Yellow marbles + Black marbles + Purples marble
Now insert the values in the above formula.
Total marbles = 6 + 4 + 2
Total marbles = 12
The probability of 2 yellow marble:
[tex]= \frac{6}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \\= \frac{5}{22}[/tex]
Thus, the probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.
