if a bag has 40 red and blue marbles and a quarter of them are red,what is the probability of picking a blue marble?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well 25% of the 40 marbles are red, and 25% of 40 is 10. 40-10=30, which means there are 30 marbles. That means the probability is 30/40, which when simplified is 3/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh thank you!i kept trying to do 60/40 for some reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay yeah no prob. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the fraction 3/5 cant be reduced correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, nothing goes into 3 & 5 both besides 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thought so:)thank you very much for your help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :) If you need any other help I'll try my best to help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i have a question like the marble one again but its three-quarters of them are red and it wants to know the probability of picking a blue marble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there 40 total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 40 marbles still.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40 red and blue.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K since we know a quarter of 40 is 10, that means 3 quarters is 30. There are 30 red and only 10 blue this time. That means probability is 10/40, but when simplified is 1/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the probability of picking a vowel from the word total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be 2/6 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K I'm gonna give you hints on this one and see if you can figure out. Hint: There are 5 letters in 'total', but only 2 vowels.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy ready for a hard question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol I'll try my best to solve it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sure you can you seem pretty smart:) a deck of cards is made up of 4 suits:clubs,diamonds,hearts,and spades.each suit has 13 cardds with this range:2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,and A. what is the probability of drawing a 7 or 8 from the deck of playing cards?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so we see, there are 4 7's and 4 8's. This gives us 8/52. We can divide both by 2 to simplify it to 4/26. We can divide by 2 again, and get 2/13 as our probability.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i could get the 52 i just didnt know how many 7's and 8's.and thanks for helping i need to pass this quiz to pass my class its my last quiz and i graduate!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg I wish you best of luck :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it's Algebra I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says its algebra 2 but i think it seems more like algebra 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you are trying to calculate the probability of rolling an even number on each die when rolling two dice,how large is the sample space? i keep getting 9 idk if thats right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. I'm doing Algebra II virtual right now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im good with all of my other online classes its just hard with math because it doesn't show me what i did wrong in the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk what the sample space is so gonna figure out what that is quickly to try to help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to google it:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes of that experiment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yuck. Die #1, Die #2 2,2 2,4 2,6 4,4 6,6 I would think there's only 5. Cause if you do 4,2 that's already on there and yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this might help my choices for answers are A.6 B.12 C.36 D.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay um..oh yeah forgot one. 2,2 2,4 2,6 4,4 6,6 4,6 There's 6 possibilities, A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy:) my next question is in a class of all girls,24 of the 30 have brown hair.what is the probability of randomly picking a girl with brown hair? dont i just do 24/30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you just simplify if needed. and when you simplify you get 4/5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i got this one wrong last time im so blonde. what is the probability of picking a consonant from A to Z?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. Well there's 21 consonants, and 5 vowels. Your probability would be 21/26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

duhhhh i put 22/26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is more likely event, rolling a 4 on a die or a 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both are the same :) They both got probability of 1/6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good thats what i put:)ready for a stupid card question again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a deck of cards is made up of suits:clubs,diamonds,hearts,and spades .each suit has 13 cards with this range:2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,and A. If you are trying to calculate the probability of getting an odd number when picking one card from a normal deal,what is the size of the sample space?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my choices for answers are A.13 B.26 C.52 D.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't really know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill just guess:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guessed rightt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol congratz :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thanks:)im doing my very last test and im finally done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to find range?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the y-value. Not really. Anyways, g2g do a virtual quiz before I sleep so yeah, see you tomorrow :) Can't help any longer so yeah..:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okayy nightt!thank you for your help:)
