Since each of the three colours has an equal chance of being drawn, theoretically if you draw four marbles from the bag, you should have at leas two of the same colour.

However, there is a 1/3 (33.33%) chance that the first two marbles you pull out will be the same color. There is just a guarantee that you will have two of at least one color after pulling out four.

What is the number of marbles left in a 48-marble bag after some marbles have been givin away?

The number of marbles left in a 48 marble bag after some number N marbles have been given away is 48-N.


If you have 50 black marbles and 50 white marbles in a bag at most how many times would you have to draw out a marble to get two the same colour?

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 3 red marbles 5 blue marbles 8 yellow marbles and 4 black marbles what is the theoretical probability of randomly picking each color marble?

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.


How many marbles can you fit into an empty bag?

The number of marbles that can fit into an empty bag would depend on the size of the marbles and the size of the bag. To calculate the maximum number of marbles that can fit, you would need to determine the volume of the bag and the volume of each marble. By dividing the volume of the bag by the volume of a single marble, you can find the maximum number of marbles that can fit into the bag.

What is the theoretical probability of randomly drawing a green marble if there are 5 red marbles 8 blue marbles and 12 green marbles in a bag.?

The theoretical probability of randomly drawing a green marble can be calculated by dividing the number of green marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag. In this case, there are 12 green marbles out of a total of 5 red marbles + 8 blue marbles + 12 green marbles, which is 25 marbles in total. Therefore, the theoretical probability of drawing a green marble is 12/25 or 48%.


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 equation used to determine probability?

Number 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.
