Question

A bag contains 6 marbles, of which 2 are orange.

What is the probability that a randomly selected marble will be orange?

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

Total number of marbles : 6

Number of orange marbles : 2

Probability of selecting an orange marble

= number of orange marbles / total number of marbles

= 2 / 6

= 1/3

Answer 2

`(1)/(3)=0.333`

Explanation:

We are given that there are 6 marbles in the bag, 2 of which are orange. To find the probability of choosing an orange marble out of the bag, we divide the number of orange marbles by the total number of marbles. Thus,
`(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`. The probability of choosing an orange marble out of the bag is
`(1)/(3)=0.333`.
