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

5 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 8 purple marbles and 1 white marble.
if one ball is white drawn then others are green, blue and red, therefore
p=(1 * 24)/(24*25)/(1*1)= .04 or 4%
