Answer:

The probability that they are both male is 0.424 (3 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the probability of the first selection being male. This is calculated as number of male mice divided by total number of mice in the litter

Prob (1st male) = 8 ÷ 12 = 0.667

Next is to find the probability of the second selection also being male. Note that the question states that the first mice was selected without replacement. This means the first mouse taken results in a reduction in both the number of male mice and total number of mice in the litter.

Prob (2nd male) = (8 - 1) ÷ (12 - 1) = 7/11 = 0.636

Therefore,

Prob (1st male & 2nd male) = 0.667 × 0.636 = 0.424

Mkey [24]

Let x represent the number of red marbles, then blue marbles are represented by x + 31

red +  blue  = 225

x    +  x + 31  =  225

2x + 31 = 225

2x = 194

 x = 97

Blue: x + 31 = 97 + 31  = 128

Answer: 128 blue marbles
