a bag has 6 green marbles, 4 red marbles, 5 yellow marble, and 3 purple marbles.what is the probability of choosing a purple marble?
pls help me bot!
There are a total of 6 + 4 + 5 + 3 = 18 marbles in the bag. The probability of choosing a purple marble is the number of purple marbles in the bag divided by the total number of marbles:
P(purple) = 3/18 = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of choosing a purple marble is 1/6.
thanks, soo much!
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
Of course! To find the probability of choosing a purple marble from the bag, we need to divide the number of purple marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag.
First, let's find the total number of marbles in the bag by adding the number of each color:
6 green marbles + 4 red marbles + 5 yellow marbles + 3 purple marbles = 18 marbles
Next, we can determine the probability of selecting a purple marble by dividing the number of purple marbles by the total number of marbles:
Probability = Number of purple marbles / Total number of marbles
Probability = 3 purple marbles / 18 marbles
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Probability = 1 / 6 or approximately 0.1667
Therefore, the probability of choosing a purple marble from the bag is 1/6 or 0.1667, which is approximately 16.67%.
