Answer:  (i) 13/25 = 52%           (i) 12/25 = 48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Notes:

  • "and" means multiply
  • "or" means add

(i) If they are both the same color, then you draw a

Black Marble and Black Marble       or     White Marble and White Marble

(6 black/10 total) x (6 black/10 total) + (4 white/10 total) x (4 white/10 total)

=                      36/100                        +                    16/100

= 52/100 (52%)

= 13/25

(ii) If they are different colors, then you draw a

Black Marble and White Marble    or       White Marble and Black Marble

(6 black/10 total) x (4 black/10 total) + (4 white/10 total) x (5 white/10 total)

=                      24/100                        +                    24/100

= 48/100 (48%)

= 12/25
