Question

A bag of marbles contains 6 blue marbles, 2 yellow marbles, 4 red marbles, and 1 green marble. what is the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble?

Answer 1

its probably 2 to 13

Answer 2

Answer:
`(2)/(13)`

Explanation:

Given: The number of yellow marbles in the bag = 2

The total number of marbles in the bag =
`6+2+4+1=13`

Now, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble is given by:-

`P(\text{yellow})=\frac{\text{yellow marble}}{\text{total marbles}}*100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(\text{yellow})=(2)/(13)`

Hence, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble=
`(2)/(13)`
