The correct answer is A: selecting either a white or purple marble.
To determine the probability of an event, we need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, the bag contains marbles of different colors: white, purple, yellow, and green.
The probability of event A, selecting either a white or purple marble, can be found by counting the number of white and purple marbles (favorable outcomes) and dividing it by the total number of marbles in the bag (possible outcomes).
To find the answer, we need to know the total number of marbles in the bag, as well as the number of white and purple marbles. Please provide that information.
