Example:
A ceramic jar contains 5 blue marbles and.
9 red marbles. A red marble is drawn
and dropped back into the jar. Then a blue marble is drawn
and dropped back into the jar.
Find the probability P that the next marble drawn is blue.
The total number of marbles in the jar is 9 + 5 = 14.
Since the probability of drawing any marble is an independent event,
the probability P is equal to the number of blue marbles divided by the
total number of marbles in the jar.
Thus:
In decimal form:
