A bag has 4 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. Jasmine draws a green marble and does not replace it. What is the probability of drawing a green marble next?
5/14
To find the probability of drawing a green marble next, we need to know the total number of marbles remaining after Jasmine draws a green marble.
Initially, there are 4 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 yellow marbles, making a total of 15 marbles.
Since Jasmine already drew a green marble without replacing it, the number of green marbles remaining is 6 - 1 = 5.
The number of marbles remaining in the bag is now 15 - 1 = 14.
Therefore, the probability of drawing a green marble next is 5/14 or approximately 0.3571 (rounded to 4 decimal places).
To find the probability of drawing a green marble next, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a green marble) and the number of possible outcomes.
Since Jasmine already drew a green marble and did not replace it, there are now 5 green marbles left in the bag. The total number of marbles remaining in the bag is 4 (blue) + 5 (green) + 2 (red) + 3 (yellow) = 14 marbles.
Therefore, the probability of drawing a green marble next is favorable outcomes / total outcomes, which is 5 green marbles / 14 marbles = 5/14.
Hence, the probability of drawing a green marble next is 5/14.
