SOLUTION
Given the question, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Write the formula for probability
[tex]Probability=\frac{number\text{ of required outcomes}}{number\text{ of total possible outcomes}}[/tex]STEP 2: Write the outcomes of the events
[tex]\begin{gathered} number\text{ of red marbles}\Rightarrow n(red)\Rightarrow8 \\ number\text{ of blue marbles}\Rightarrow n(blue)\Rightarrow7 \\ number\text{ of green marbles}\Rightarrow n(green)\Rightarrow6 \\ number\text{ of total marbles}\Rightarrow n(total)\Rightarrow21 \end{gathered}[/tex]STEP 3: Write the formula for getting the probability that all three marbles drawn will be red
[tex]Pr(Red\text{ and Red and Red\rparen}\Rightarrow Pr(red)\times Pr(red)\times Pr(red)[/tex]STEP 4: Calculate the probability
[tex]\begin{gathered} Pr(all\text{ three are reds\rparen}\Rightarrow\frac{8}{21}\times\frac{7}{20}\times\frac{6}{19} \\ =\frac{336}{7980}=0.042105263 \\ To\text{ percentage will be to multiply by 100} \\ 4.210526316\% \\ To\text{ the nearest tenth will be:} \\ \approx4.2\% \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the probability, to the nearest 10th of a percent, that all three marbles drawn will be red is 4.2%
