You are given a bag of jelly beans. There are 7 red, 8 blue, 4 yellow, and 10 pink. Find the probability of drawing 2 blue in a row with replacement. (You replace the jelly bean back in the bag after you choose it.) Write your answer in decimal form. Round to three decimal places.

Given :

Number of red jelly beans = 7

Number of blue jelly beans = 8

Number of yellow jelly beans = 4

Number of pink jelly beans = 10

Total = 29

Probability = Favorable outcome/Total outcome 

Probability of blue Beans = 8/29

Probability of blue beans with replacement = 8/29

So, probability of getting two blue in a row = 8/29 × 8/29

= 0.076
