A bag contains 10 marbles of the same size that are red, yellow, and orange. The probability of picking a red marble is 10%. The probability of picking a yellow marble is 60%. Determine the probability of picking an orange marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking an orange marble as likely or not likely to occur.

and choices?

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

I submitted the wrong question. This is what I need help on.. A bag contains 20 marbles of the same size that are blue, green, and red. The probability of picking a blue marble is 20%. The probability of picking a green marble is 50%. Determine the probability of picking a red marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking a red marble as likely or not likely to occur.

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

It is a essay question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the blue r 20% and the green is 50% right?

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about add them together so 20+50=70 so tha would be 70%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100%-70%=30%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 30% of the marbles are red

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did that help?

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

Yes thanks! Can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure can i get a medal?

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

Yes Gareth believes that if he flips a coin 820 times, it will land heads up exactly 410 times. What would you tell Gareth about his prediction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

click best response

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if he flipped it 820

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would say the prediction is....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r there answer choices?

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

No.. unfortunately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang......

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

I think I'm supposed to find the probability.. If that helps

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

And if it's theoretical and experimental probability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur right

OpenStudy (ksmd13):

Okay well I think it's reasonable but is it right or wrong? And what is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability for this?
