At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

3 colors (blue white red)
You draw a marble from each bag what is the probability of drawing at least 2 blue marbles?

So I marked down all of the possible outcomes and I get 7/27 but it doesn't make sense to me to include the same blue marbles twice because the third color is different
So that gives me 3/27.
Which one is the correct answer if any? Appreciate some help.

Hi benchic,
This is clearly a probability question, but it is missing some vital information:
1) How many bags are there?
2) How many of each color marble are in each bag? Even if we don't have the exact number of marbles of each color, a ratio of the colors would suffice.
If you provide the missing information, then I'll be happy to assist.

Hi,
I believe you are talking of 3 bags having one each of w,r,and b....
At least 2 b means...
1) all 3 b...
Only one way.. b,b,b
2) 2b..
Choose two bags out of 3, which will contain b..
3C2= 3 ways but the third one can be either r or w, so 3*2=6 ways..
So total 7
Total ways=3*3*3=27..
Ans 7/27..
So as for your Q, yes babe will be different from bbr..
Your calculations of 27 contains both bbw and bbr as different ways , so they both have to be calculated as separate in possible cases thus 7
