The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability that either both marbles picked are green or both are yellow, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of marbles An urban contains: - 6 red marbles - 4 blue marbles - 2 green marbles - 3 yellow marbles **Total number of marbles = 6 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 15** ### Step 2: Calculate the total possible outcomes for picking 2 marbles The total number of ways to choose 2 marbles from 15 can be calculated using the combination formula \( C(n, r) \), which is given by: \[ C(n, r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \] For our case, \( n = 15 \) and \( r = 2 \): \[ C(15, 2) = \frac{15!}{2!(15-2)!} = \frac{15 \times 14}{2 \times 1} = 105 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the favorable outcomes for both events 1. **Both marbles are green:** There are 2 green marbles, so the number of ways to choose 2 green marbles is: \[ C(2, 2) = 1 \] 2. **Both marbles are yellow:** There are 3 yellow marbles, so the number of ways to choose 2 yellow marbles is: \[ C(3, 2) = \frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} = \frac{3 \times 2}{2 \times 1} = 3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total favorable outcomes Now, we add the favorable outcomes from both events: \[ \text{Total favorable outcomes} = \text{(both green)} + \text{(both yellow)} = 1 + 3 = 4 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the probability The probability \( P \) of either both marbles being green or both being yellow is given by the ratio of the total favorable outcomes to the total possible outcomes: \[ P = \frac{\text{Total favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}} = \frac{4}{105} \] ### Final Answer The probability that either both marbles are green or both are yellow is \( \frac{4}{105} \). ---
