Answer:
The probability would be 5/15 or 1/3
Total = 7+3+5
= 15
yellow = 3
orange = 7
blue marbles = 5
Answer:
⇒Pgreen or yellow=5\11
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability here is the chance of selection out of a total. So, we need to first find the total number of marbles.
total
=
5
+
3
+
2
+
1
=
11
So there are
11
marbles total. The probability that we pick one of the
3
green marbles out of the
11
is simply that ratio:
P
green
=
3
11
Same idea for yellow:
P
yellow
=
2
11
The probability of picking either of these colors is simply the sum of their probabilities.
P
green or yellow
=
P
green
+
P
yellow
=
3
11
+
2
11
=
5
11
