A. Neither unlikely nor likely
B. Certain
C. Likely
D. Not likely

Answer 1

It is neither likely or unlikely to pull a purple marble because there is an even number of blue and purple marbles.

Answer 2

Total marbles = 14 + 14 = 28
Total purple marbles = 14

P(Purple) = 14/28 = 1/2
⇒ It is equally likely to draw a purple marble or a blue marble.
