∙ 14y agoThe first could be white, the second could also be white, but for the third there are no white left so the third would have to be black.
The first or second could be black, but to guarantee at least one black you need to remove 3 marbles.

∙ 14y agoNumber of possibilities for one category / Total of all possibilities. For example, if I had a bag of marbles where there are three white marbles and two black marbles. The probability of pulling out a white marble is how many white marbles are in the bag which is: three. But the total of things you can draw out of the bag can either be one of the three white marbles or one of the two black marbles. 3 white marbles+ 2 Black marbles= five marbles. Possibility is 3/5 for drawing a white marble.
it depends how many blue marbles there are and how many marbles total.
A combination problem essentially asks for two answers from different mathematical areas. A simple example could be, "A boy has a bag of marbles. Four marbles are blue. Three marbles are red. Five marbles are white. How many marbles does he have all together? What are the chances of picking a blue marble at random?" The two areas being addressed are simple addition and probability. There are a total of 12 marbles. There is a 1:3 chance of picking a blue marble at random.
Not if it is a glass marble, but you can get metal marbles which would be magnetic in many cases.
They had altogether at first 176 marbles (Mar has 44 and Jay has 132).

The maximum number of marbles you have to draw is three. 1) Draw a marble. It is either white or black. 2) Draw a second marble. If it is the same colour as the first marble, we are done after two draws. 3) Otherwise, the drawn marbles have different colours. Draw a third marble. No matter what you draw next, you must have two marbles of the same colour.
a bag contains 150 marbles some of the marbles are blue and the rest of the marbles are white in the bag there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles how many of each color marble blue and white are in the bag show or explain your thinking
It depends on how many marbles of each colour you have....
Two.
Large reserves of marbles are found in Baluchistan, the largest province of Pakistan area vise. White and black marble is exported from Pakistan to many countries.
if the balls are in the ratio of 7:10, then in every 7+10 = 17 of them 7 are white and 10 are black. With 136 marbles there are 136 ÷ 17 = 8 lots → there are 8 lots × 7 white/lot = 56 white.

It depends on the size of the marble.
