Question

A bag contains 5 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 8 purple marbles and 1 white marble. One is selected at random. Find the theoretical probability of each outcome. What’s the probability of pulling out a white marble? Express each theoretical probability as a fraction and as a percent

Answer 1

theoretically speaking, for red and blue, the chance is 5/25 for each, for purple, 8/25, for green, 6/25, and for white, 1/25. The probability for drawing red or blue is each 20%, purple is 32%, green is 24%, and white 4%.
I revised this because I realized that I am blind and missed green

Answer 2

the probability of selecting :

1- red marbles:

`(5)/(25) \: \: or \: \: 20\%`


2- blue marbles

`(5)/(25) \: \: or \: \: 20\%`


3- green marbles

`(6)/(25) \: \: or \: \: 24\%`


4- purple marbles :

`(8)/(25) \: \: or \: \: 32 \%`

5- white marbles

`(1)/(25) \: \: or \: \: 4\%`




good luck
