The probability of drawing a white marble is .46
It is (4/8)*(6/8) = 3/8
3/6 or 1/2 or 50%
3/6 * 3/5 = 6/30 or 1/5 so you have a 20% chance of pulling a white and then black marble.
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.
80% chance, Or 40/50

Ursula has a total of 16 marbles in the bag (1 red, 5 white, and 10 black). When she draws a marble randomly, the probability of drawing each color can be calculated based on their quantities. The probability of drawing a red marble is 1/16, a white marble is 5/16, and a black marble is 10/16. This means that black marbles are the most likely to be drawn, followed by white and then red.

3/7*3/7= 9/49
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.
80% chance, Or 40/50
a black one
The answer is 9/12 or 3/4 probilty that you will pick a green or yellow marble.
