Step 1 
We have data: 
The number purple marbles is: p=3 
The number of red marbles is: r=1 
The number of blue marbles is: b=5 
(1) There are a total of marbles
n=p+r+b 
=3+1+5 
=9 
Step 2 
The likelihood of getting a purple marble is
P(p)=pn 
=39 
=0.333 
Thus, the probability of pulling a purple marble is 0.333. 
Step 3 
2) The probability of pulling a red marble and a blue marble with replacement is, 
P(A)=rn×bn 
=19×59 
=0.062 
Thus, the probability of pulling a red marble and a blue marble with replacement is 0.062. 
Step 4 
3) Pulling a red and a blue marble without a replacement is likely to happen
P(B)=rn×b(n1) 
=19×5(91) 
=19×58 
=0.069 
Therefore, the probability of pulling a red marble and a blue marble with replacement is 0.069.
