A bag contains 3 red marbles, 5 yellow marbles, and 4 blue marbles. One marble is chosen at random. What is the probability that the chosen marble will be blue?
So, to solve this problem, you add up all of the marbles to get the sum. so 3+5+4 = ? then you take the amount of blue marbles and put it in the form of a fraction, like so; \[\frac{ blue marbles }{ all marbles }\]
what would be the right answer
can u explain and help
Well, what's 3+4+5?
12
Okay, so that's the sum of all of the colors of marbles. The reason you added all of them is because this is a probability question. You're seeing 12 marbles as 100% technically. There's 3 red, 5 yellow and 4 blue. out of 12, 4 of them are blue Do you get it, kind of? >.< If not, I'll help you until you do :)
i got 1/3
Yep >.< That's the answer :)
i hvae 1 more
A bag contains only black marbles and white marbles. Ezra reached into the bag without looking, got 30 marbles, and found that 12 of the marbles were black. Ezra is going to reach in the bag again and get one more marble.
