7/15 for blue marbles and 8/14 for the purple marbles this is dependent probability
Im not good at explaining things but here's an example. If I have 5 red marbles and 6 blue marbles in a bag and I pick one out. I then choose another marble without returning the first marble to the bag. Hope this helps.
We can't answer that without knowing what else is in the bowl.
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.

To find the answer to probability, first add all the things together (5+3+2=10), then, find the number of things you will be taking from the group of things (3), and put together as a fraction (3/10). So the final answer is 3/10, which is unlikely. :D

If the two marbles are drawn without replacement, the probability is 16/33.
4/8 or 1/2(probability of first draw) * 3/8(probability of second draw which is 12/64 or 3/16 of the given scenario.
The probability is 100%.There's no way to take four marbles out of this bag without at least one of them being white.
The probability of picking the #1 marble on the first draw is 1/12. If you've done that, then the probability of picking the #2 marble on the second draw is 1/11. If you've done that, then, the probability of picking the #3 marble on the third draw is 1/10. If you've done that, then, the probability of picking the #4 marble on the fourth draw is 1/11. etc. etc. So the probability of doing all of them in sequence is (1/12) x (1/11) x . . . x (1/1). That's exactly the reciprocal of (12!). According to my $1.49 calculator, your chances of success without peeking amount to about 0.00000020877 percent (rounded) Not a smart bet.
sure chance
It depends what probability exactly you want to find.probability = number of successful ways / total number of waysIf the problem is:You have a bag containing 4 blue, 5 red, 1 green, 2 black marble what is the probability of picking a blue marble at random?Thensuccessful ways = 4 as there are 4 blue marblestotal ways = 12 as there are 4 [blue] marbles + 5 [red] marbles + 1 [green] marble + 2 [black] marbles = 12 marbles in total.pr(picking a blue) = 4/12 = 1/3Perhaps the problem is:You pick 2 marbles at random without replacing them, what is the probability that they are the two black marbles?Each picking of a marble is an event and the two events are independent (in the sense that whatever you pick first does not affect the probability of the second pick) so you multiply the probability of each together:pr(1st black) = 2/12 = 1/6pr(2nd black) = 1/11 (there is 1 less black marble in the bag)pr(2 blacks) = 1/6 × 1/11 = 1/66Perhaps it is:You pick 2 marbles at random replacing the marble after the first pick, what is the probability of picking the same colour each time?This time there are 4 possible colours and the probabilities of 2 marbles the same is calculated for each (similar to above) and then they are added together to find the total probability of 2 marbles of the same colour:pr(blue) = 4/12 → pr(2 blue) = 4/12 × 4/12 = 16/144pr(red) = 5/12 → pr(2 red) = 5/12 × 5/12 = 25/144pr(green) = 1/12 → pr(2 green) = 1/12 × 1/12 = 1/144pr(black) = 2/12 → pr(2 black) = 2/12 × 2/12 = 4/144→ pr(2 the same colour) = pr(2 blue) + pr(2 red) + pr(2 green) + pr(2 black)= 16/144 + 25/144 + 1/144 + 4/144 = 46/144 = 23/72And so on.
