Question

A container has 5 green, 4 yelow and 2 whhite marbles. Carla chooses a marble without looking. Is it the probability that she will select a green marble closest to 0, 1/2 or 1? What is P (white)

Answer 1

Explanation:

A container has 5 green, 4 yellow and 2 white marbles.

We need to find the probability of selecting a green marble.

The probability of getting an event is given by :

P(E) = favorable outcomes/no. of outcomes

The probability of getting green marble will be :

`P(G) = (5)/(5+4+2)\\\\=(5)/(11)`

The probability of getting white marble will be :

`P(W) = (2)/(5+4+2)\\\\=(2)/(11)`

Hence, this is the required solution.
