A bag contains 15 red 27 white and 8 green marble. A boy takes one marble out of the bag at random find the probability that marble is green
There are a total of 15 + 27 + 8 = 50 marbles in the bag.
The probability of selecting a green marble is the number of green marbles divided by the total number of marbles:
P(green) = 8/50
Simplifying:
P(green) = 4/25
Therefore, the probability that the marble selected is green is 4/25 or 0.16.
