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.

How likely are you to pull a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles?
The probability of pulling a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles is 16 out of 22, or about 0.73.
What does likely mean in math?
Likely means the same as probable and probable refers to the probability that something might happen, Probability is measured using a scale of probability from zero to one. Zero means that the event will definitely not happen whereas a probability of 1 means that the event is certain to happen, Similarly a probability of 0.5 means that the event is just as likely not to happen as to happen. What is the probability that you could swim the Atlantic unaided? Zero What is the probability that a bird will die? One What is the probability that I can throw a 1 with a dice? 1 out of 6 = 0.1666666....... What is the probability that I can toss a "heads" with a coin? 50% = 0.5 = one half
How likely is it that an event with a probability of 0.28 will occur?
7 out of 25 times
If you had a liter container full of marbles and a half liter container full of sand would the mixture of the two measure 1 12 liters?
It depends on the size of the marbles and the dimensions of the one liter container. Most likely the sand would fill the void space between the marbles and the mixture would have a volume of one liter or slighty more.
The theoretical probability of a given event is 9 13 explain what each number represents?
The naive answer is that the random experiment (or trial) can be modelled theoretically. This model has 13 equally likely outcomes and that 9 of them are favourable to the event. That is, 9 out of 13 equally likely outcomes involve the event occurring.A slightly more sophisticated explanation is that there are a multiple of 13 equally likely outcomes and the same multiple of 9 are favourable to the event under study. For example, the probability of randomly drawing a non-honour from a regular deck of cards. The total number of possible outcomes is 52 (= 13*4) and the number of favourable outcomes is 36 (= 9*4). The probability, 36/52 has then been simplified to 9/13.This answer still assumes that each individual outcome is equally likely but that is not necessary. The experiment could involve trying to hitting one of two targets: a 2*2 and a 3*3 (in the same square units of length) targets. If anywhere in the two targets has the same probability, then the theoretical probability of hitting the bigger target is 9/(9+4) = 9/13.
What does equally likely events in math term mean?
When you are asked what is the probability of drawing "thing a" when you have only the same amount of "thing b," is called an equally likely event. For example: In a hat you have 8 black marbles and 8 black marbles. Since there the same amount of both, the chance of picking a black marble is 50% and picking a blue marble is 50%. This is an equally likely event.
What is probability and how does it helps?
Probability is the calculation of the extent to which something is probable (the likelihood of something happening or being the case). Probability helps staticians and other people to have a better understanding of what is to come in the future. Ex: If I have a bag of 10 colored marbles where five of them are blue and five of them are red, once I pull out a certain number of red and blue marbles I still know the ratio of red to blue marbles in the bag though it may have changed.
What is the definition of the word Probability in maths?
it means what is the chance u might get somthing e.g. u have 5 marbles, 3 are red and 2 are blue. the probability of gettin a red is likely cause there are more than the other colour
A bag contains 3 red 4 green and 3 yellow marbles Three marbles are randomly drawn from the bag What is the probability that they are of the same colour and different colours one of each color?
The probability for most of the same colours is most likely green. One of each can be one of each, but there is a small chance you will get more red and yellow than green.
What is probability?
probably means that something or which is not sure . LIKE :- I PROBABLY GET THIS ANSWER RIGHT.
How do you calculate propability of a deck of cards?
The probability is the likely outcome of a random event. In this example - picking (say) the Ace of Spades - the chances are 1 in 52. Drawing a red card is 1 in 2, drawing a Spade is 1 in 13 etc. The probability of drawing every card in order from a pre-written list is approximately 1 in 8 x 1067 !
How likely are you to pull a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles?
The probability of pulling a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles is 16 out of 22, or about 0.73.
If a bag contains 4 green marbles an 4 yellow marbles 5 white marbles what would be more likely to pull a red marble or a white marble from the bag?
You would be more likely to pull out a white marble as there are no red marbles in the bag.
What is the probability of not getting 175.3?
The probability is likely to be 1.
What is least likely in probability?
An impossible event, with probability 0.
What is the definition of theoretical probability?
Theoretical probability is the probability of an event when all outcomes are equally likely. With theoretical probability, you determine the probability by dividing the number of ways the event can occur by the total number of equally likely outcomes.
How do you spell marbales?
The only likely word is marbles (glass or ceramic spheres used in marble games).
