No, it is not understood - any question like this must tell you if the selections are made with or without replacement, so that should have been mentioned here.

There are three blue marbles, three red marbles, and three yellow marbles in a bowl. What is the probability of selecting a yellow marble from the bowl on each of three successive draws from the bowl?

A. 2/243
B. 1/27
C. 1/84
D. 2/9
E. 5/21

Favourable cases = 3 yellow out of 3 yellow = 3C3

Total cases = 3 out of 9 = 9C3

Probability = 3C3 / 9C3 = 1/84

ANswer: Option C
