Bag with 10 marbles: 3 orange, 5 black, 2 white.

Rephrasing the question.

If a marble is drawn from the bag, then returned to the bag, and a second marble

is drawn, what is the probability that the first marble turns out white and the second

marble black ?

The probability for a marble to come out white from the bag is:

P(W) = 2/10 = 1/5

The probability for a marble to come out black from the bag is:

P(B) = 5/10 = 1/2

The probability for a marble to come out white, put back in the bag and then take again a marble for a second time and turns out to be black is:

P(B2|W1) = (1/5)∙(1/2) = 1/10 = 0.10 = 10 %

Ok so first you have 20 marbles in all. Since you have 3 blue marbles the fraction would be 3/20 which you can't reduce. To find in decimal form just punch in 3/20!! -Welcome


How do play the decoder in 39 clues?

In decoder for the 39 clues, you start out with several different colored marbles in the bottom. Depending on what level you are on, you will always get orange and green marbles. The goal of the game is to match the code at the end of the board (hidden). However, on the right of the board are 4 empty holes. If you press the solve button on the board, you will get either a white colored marble, black marble, or none at all. White colored marbles mean that you have a right color, but in the wrong position. Black means that you have the right colored marble and it is in the correct position. If none appears at all in a hole, that means you have the wrong colored marble and wrong position. Good Luck Cahill!
