Answer

$\frac{1}{3}$

Work Step by Step

The sample space in Exercise $5$ is: [Red and Red, Red and White, Red and White] From this, we can see that there is a $1$ possible outcome in which $2$ red marbles are drawn out of $3$ possible combinations. We can use the formula $P=\frac{n}{s}$ to calculate the probability. $P=\frac{n}{s}$ $P=\frac{1}{3}$
