Question

A purple bag contains 8 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. What is theprobability that a randomly selected marble is red or green?

Answer 1

P = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is the division between the number of marbles that are red or green over the total number of marbles in the bag.

So, there are 15 marbles in the bag:

8 red + 3 blue + 4 green = 15 marbles

And 12 of them are red or green:

8 red + 4 green = 12 marbles

Therefore, the probability is equal to:

`P=(12)/(15)=0.8`
