A box contains 8 green marbles 4 red marbles and 4 purple marbles if you draw a marble at random what is the probability that you will not draw a red marble?
Probability of drawing a red marble = 4/16 = 1/4 Probability of drawing not a red marble = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
If a box contains 4 red marbles seven white and 5 blue and two marbles are drawn one at a time with replacement What is the probability that both marbles are white?
Since the box contains 16 marbles, seven of them white, then the probability of drawing one white marble is 7/16. If you replace the marble and draw again, the probability of drawing another white marble is still 7/16. The net probability of drawing two white marbles, while replacing the first, is 49/256.
A box contains 3 red marbles 6 blue marbles 12 green marbles and 4 purple marbles if a marble is drawn from the box what is the probability that it is red?
There are a total of 25 Marbles The chances are 3 out of 25 drawing a Red marble. 3/25 = 12% chance of drawing a red marble
There are 9 red and 6 blue marbles in a jar If you draw red marbles from the jar 7 times what is the experimental probability of drawing a red marble?
The answer is dependent on whether of not you replace the marbles in the jar. If you do, the probability of drawing a red marble is 9 in 15 or 60%, every time. If you do not replace the marbles, the probability of drawing a red marble is 2 in 8 or 25%.
A bag contains 6 red marbles 7 blue marbles and 6 green marbles If one marble is randomly picked from the bag what is the probability that this is a blue marble?
There would be a 7/19 or 36.84% chance of drawing a blue marble from the bag.
A bag contains 8 marbles 4 are blue 3 are green and one is orange you draw out one marble and then another without replacing the first marble Find the probability of drawing 2 blue marbles?
Probability of drawing a blue marble first is 4 in 8 (or 50%) Probability of drawing a blue marble second is 3 in 7 (or 42.85714%) Probablility of drawing blue then blue is the two above multiplied 0.5 * 0.4285714 Which is 0.212142407 or 21% or One in Five.
What is the probability of drawing a marble that is not white?
It depends on how many marbles of each colour you have....
If you have a bag containing 24 marbles If the probability of drawing a red marble is twice as likely not drawing a red marble how many red marbles are in the bag?
Suppose probability of drawing a red marble is p. Then p = 2*(1 - p) that is p = 2 - 2p or p = 2/3 So 2/3 of the 24 marbles are red 24*(2/3) = 16 red marbles.
What are the odds in favor of choosing a white marble from a bag containing 3 black marbles 4 green marbles and 6 white marbles?
The probability of drawing a white marble is .46
12 red marbles and 15 marbles are blue. if one marble is drawn from the bag What is the probabilitythe marble is not be red?
15/27. Simply take the probability of drawing a blue marble.
What is the theoretical probability of randomly drawing a green marble if there are 5 red marbles 8 blue marbles and 12 green marbles in a bag.?
25
