Aakesh has two bags of marbles. The first bag contains 6 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 5 green marbles. The second bag contains 3 red marbles, 1 blue marble, and 5 green marbles. Aakesh will randomly select one marble from each bag. What is the probability that Aakesh will select a green marble from each bag?



Answer :

Answer:

5/27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of selecting a green marble from each bag, we first need to find the total number of marbles in each bag.

First bag: 6 red + 4 blue + 5 green = 15 marbles Second bag: 3 red + 1 blue + 5 green = 9 marbles

The probability of selecting a green marble from the first bag is 5/15 = 1/3 The probability of selecting a green marble from the second bag is 5/9

To find the overall probability of selecting a green marble from each bag, we multiply the individual probabilities: (1/3) * (5/9) = 5/27

Therefore, the probability that Aakesh will select a green marble from each bag is 5/27.
