Total number of marbles in the bag = 6 + 19 + 5 + 19 + 17 = 66

Number of yellow ones = 19

If drawing perfectly randomly, then the probability of pulling a yellow one = 19/66 = 28.8% (rounded)

A jar contains 22 yellow marbles 26 green marbles 17 red marbles and 20 purple marbles A marble is drawn at random what is the probability of not pulling out a purple marble?

probability of pulling out a purple marble = 20/85probability of NOT pulling out a purple marble = 1 - 20/85 = 65/85 = 13/17


What is the probability of pulling of pulling out a blue marble returning it to the jar and then pulling out a green marble?

The probability is B*G/(B+G+R)^2where B = number of Blue marbles G = number of Green marbles and R = number of marbles of other colours.


What is the probability of pulling a red marbles out of a bag containing 16 red marbles 10 green marbles 14 blue marbles and 10 yellow marbles?

If you pull 35 marbles without replacement, the answer is 1: the event is a certainty. If you pull only one marble, at random, the probability is 16/50 = 8/25.


Is the probability that a blue marble will NOT be selected from a bag containing 9 red marbles 6 blue marbles 7 green marbles and 11 yellow marbles if one is selected randomly?

To find the probability that a blue marble will NOT be selected, first calculate the total number of marbles: 9 red + 6 blue + 7 green + 11 yellow = 33 marbles. The number of non-blue marbles is 9 red + 7 green + 11 yellow = 27 marbles. Therefore, the probability of NOT selecting a blue marble is 27/33, which simplifies to 9/11.


What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 and then pulling a red marble out of the bag without looking?

The probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2/6, that is, 1/3. For the probability of pulling out a red marble, more data has to be known. Just put the number of red marbles in the numerator, the total number of marbles in the denominator. Finally, multiply the two probabilities.

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.


If you have a black bag with 4 red marbles 6 green marbles 4 blue marbles and 10 white marbles what is the probability of pulling out a white marble from the bag?

Probability = number_of_white_marbles / total_number_of_marbles = 10 / (4 + 6 + 4 + 10) = 10 / 24 = 5/12 ~= 0.42


Suppose there are three white marbles and three black marbles in a bag and you want to remove two marbles What is the probability that you will select a white marble and then a black marble Express?

3/6 * 3/5 = 6/30 or 1/5 so you have a 20% chance of pulling a white and then black marble.
