Answer:

100/729

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of picking a yellow bead is 4/9, since there are 4 yellow beads in the bag and 9 beads in total. The probability of picking white beads both times is 5/9, for the same reason. Therefore, the probability of these events happening is 4/9*5/9*5/9=100/729. Hope this helps!

Answer:

[tex]\frac{100}{729}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you need to firstly make the 3 beads a fraction.

Add 5 and 4.

5+4=9

The denominator will be 9 for each fraction.

[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

Now multiply.

[tex]\frac{100}{729}[/tex]

You cannot simplify it further so it will stay as the fraction.
