12. A bag has 10 marbles, and 7 are black. Petra picks 2 marbles without replacing the first. What is the probability
that both are black?

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The total number of marbles in the bag,n(S) =10.

The number of black marbles,n(B)=7

The probability that both marbles are red means that, the first marble is red and the second marble is red.

P(1st marble is Black)=

Since Petra picked the first marble without replacing it, the total number of the marbles will reduce by 1. Same is applied to the number of black marbles.

This implies that,

P(2nd marble is black)

P(both are black)=

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.
