A certain jar contains 21 marbles, 7 of which are red. If two marbles are to be selected, with replacement, what is the probability that both marbles will be red?


A 1/9
B 1/6
C 1/3
D 2/3
E 3/4

The probability of selecting 2 red marbles is 7/21 x 7/21 = 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9.

Answer: A

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
