Question

A bag contains orange, purple, and blue marbles. If a marble is selected at random from the bag, the probability it is orange is 0.2, the probability it is purple is 0.3, and the probability it is blue is 0.5. Which colour marble is most likely to be selected? Explain.

Answer 1

blue marble

Explanation:

Probability is how likely something is to happen. Between the three colors, blue has the greatest probability, meaning it will most likely be selected.

0.5 > 0.2

0.5 > 0.3
