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
The theoretical probability of randomly picking each color marble is the number of color marbles you have for each color, divided by the total number of marbles. For example, the probability of selecting a red marble is 3/20.
0No blue marbles in the bag.
None, if all the marbles that you have are yellow!
3/10 or 0.3 is the probability of picking a purple marble.
1 in 15 chances that the marble will be blue, because there are 15 marbles all together in a bag, and you are only picking one out of it.
The probability of picking a green marble from a box that only contains blue marbles is zero.

Well, honey, if you're reaching into that bag three times and each time you're pulling out a yellow marble and then putting it back in, the probability of picking a yellow marble each time is 8/21. Multiply that by itself three times because you're picking three marbles, and you get a probability of 512/9261. So, good luck with those yellow marbles, darlin'!

7/15 for blue marbles and 8/14 for the purple marbles this is dependent probability
Well, honey, there are 11 marbles in total, and 4 of them are blue. So, if you don't want a blue marble, that leaves you with 7 marbles to choose from. The probability of picking a marble that is not blue is 7/11. Hope that helps, sugar!
11 marbles total and 6 are blue so probability is 6/11
1/6Because:There is a 4 in 9 chance of picking a red ball the first time and 3 in 8 chance of picking a red ball the second time. The chance of picking two reds as the first two balls is 4/9 x 3/8 or 12/72 or 1/6
if you pick one marble at random, the odds are 17/(42+17+27) or 17/86 or about 20%
