A bag with 8 marbles has 4 yellow marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 1 red marbles. What is the probabillity that it chosen at random and is yellow?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/2 = 0.5 = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Yellow marbles = 4
  • Blue marbles = 3
  • Red marbles = 1
  • Total marbles = 8

[tex]\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf P(yellow) = \dfrac{4}{8}=\dfrac12[/tex]

This can also be written as 0.5 or 50%

  • Total marbles=8
  • Yellow marbles=4

Probability of yellow:-

P(Y):-

  • 4/8
  • 1/2
  • 0.5
