a: 3/13

b: 10/39

c: 5/12

d: 8/13

Respuesta :

Answer:

(B) [tex]\dfrac{10}{39}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 5

Number of white marbles = 8

Total =8+5=13

Event A = drawing a white marble on the first draw

Event B = drawing a red marble on the second draw

P(A)=8/13

P(B)=5/12

Therefore:

P(A and B)

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{13} \times \dfrac{5}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{10}{39}[/tex]

Your answer is B
