Assumed.
Let ( x ) be the number of red marbles to be added. Initially, there are 10 red marbles and 30 green marbles, making a total of 40 marbles. After adding ( x ) red marbles, the total number of marbles will be ( 40 + x ), and the number of red marbles will be ( 10 + x ). To find ( x ), we set up the equation: [ \frac{10 + x}{40 + x} = 0.6 ] Solving this equation gives ( x = 20 ). Therefore, 20 red marbles must be added to have 60% red marbles in the jar.
select a marble from the jar, return it , and record times
The probability of choosing a green marble from this jar would be 6/15. You get this answer by adding up the sum of all the marbles.

Use this formula - 100 * red / (blue+red+yellow).
80% chance, Or 40/50
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%.
3/5 or .6
It is 50/100 = 1/2
The probability of selecting a red marble is 3/9
5/6
select a marble from the jar, return it , and record times
The probability of choosing a green marble from this jar would be 6/15. You get this answer by adding up the sum of all the marbles.
First, you add all the numbers together- 5+6+4=15. So the number of red marbles (5) and the total number of marbles (15)= 5/15=1/3
