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.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent! add them up total = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After adding the whole marbles, I got 300 marbles in total..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, we're looking for red or white how many marbles are either red or white ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is only one for each. One red and one white.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

think again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, we're done !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't quite see 120/300 as one of my answer choices.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I knew it. 2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you sir.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good !
