Nicole pulls a colored marble out of a bowl choosing the marble at random there are 120 marbles in the bowl of which 80 are black 28 are white and the rest are red use words and numbers to describe the probability that she will pull a red marble out the bowl
The probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl can be calculated by dividing the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles in the bowl.
Number of red marbles = 120 - 80 - 28 = 12
Total number of marbles = 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
Probability of pulling a red marble = 12 / 120 = 1/10 = 0.1
Therefore, the probability that Nicole will pull a red marble out of the bowl is 0.1 or 10%.
