I have two bags of marbles. The first bag contains 6 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. The second bag contains 3 red marbles, 2 blue marble, and 4 green marbles. I will randomly select one marble from each bag.

What is the probability that i will select a blue marble from each bag?

A. 5/9

B. 1/135

C. 1/6

D. 2/27

Since there are 15 marbles in the first bag, 5 being blue, the probability of drawing a marble from the first bag is 1/3.

The probability of you drawing a blue marble from the second bag is 2/9, so (mainly from process of elimination) I believe that the probability is D. 2/27.

1/3 x 2/9 is a way to figure it out. 1 x 2 = 2. 9 x 3 = 27. 2/27
