Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 1+4+3 marbles = 8 marbles

P( blue ) = blue /total = 4/8 = 1/2

He replaces it

There are still 8 marbles in the bag

P(blue 2nd draw) =  blue /total = 4/8 = 1/2

P(blue,replace, blue) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

Answer:

The total of 1+4+3 marbles is 8 marbles

P( blue ) = blue /total = 4/8 = 1/2

He replaces it, so there are still 8 marbles in the bag

P(blue 2nd draw) = blue /total = 4/8 = 1/2

P(blue,replace, blue) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4
