Look at the given bar graph.
Can you figure out total how many marbles are produced ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Notice that the height of a bar represents the number of marbles of a particular color
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, there are 5 different color of marbles.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
For blue there are 70, red 60, yellow 70, white 60, and black 40 marbles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
After adding the whole marbles, I got 300 marbles in total..

For blue there are 70, `red 60`, yellow 70, `white 60`, and black 40 marbles.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
60 + 60 = 120 marbles are either red or white, yes ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh okay. I got confused with your question. But now I got it.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
favorable = 120
total = 300
probability = favorable / total
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I see it now. Is there more to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't quite see 120/300 as one of my answer choices.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I knew it. 2/5
