A jar contains 6 yellow marbles, 4 black marbles, and 2 purple marbles. Two marbles are picked at random, without replacement. What is the probability of selecting both yellow?

The probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number of yellow marbles = 6

Black marbles = 4

Purple marble = 2

Now find the total number of marbles in the jar.

Thus total marbles = Yellow marbles + Black marbles  + Purples marble

Now insert the values in the above formula.

Total marbles = 6 + 4 + 2

Total marbles = 12

The probability of 2 yellow marble:

Thus, the probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.

i ran through it by the other answer is wrong

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
