What is the probability of picking a black marble, replacing it back in the bag, and then choosing another black marble?

1) 3/8

2) 9/49

3) 5/13

4) 1/7

3 + 4 = 7 all marables in bag
The probability that the first marable is black
[tex]P(A_1)=\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex]
The probability that the second marable is black
[tex]P(A_2)=\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex]
Together:
[tex]P(A)=P(A_1)\cdot P(A_2)=\dfrac{3}{7}\cdot\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{9}{49}\to 2)[/tex]
