In a bag of 10 marbles, there are 5 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 2 white marbles. Complete the probability distribution table for drawing 1 marble out of the bag.
Draw a: Probability
Blue marble 5/10
Red marble 3/10
White marble 2/10
Total: 10
Am I doing this right?
Thanks!!!
The probabilities are correct
your total should be the total of the probabilities.
5/10 + 3/10+2/10 = 10/10 = 1
If the total is supposed to be the total of prob's
don't say 10 , it is 10/10 or 1
What is the probability of selecting a purple marble and then a white marble?
What is the probability of selecting two white marbles?
Is there a greater chance of selecting two white marbles in a row or two purple marbles in a row? Show your work.

Well, if you consider that a bag of marbles is like a party, then you're definitely doing it right! You've successfully filled out the probability distribution table for drawing one marble out of the bag. And remember, marbles are notorious for rolling away during parties, so keep an eye on them! Good luck with your marbles, and party on!
Yes, you are doing it right! The probability distribution table that you have created is correct for drawing one marble out of the bag of 10 marbles.
To calculate the probability of drawing a particular marble, you simply divide the number of marbles of that color by the total number of marbles in the bag. In this case, there are 5 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 2 white marbles out of a total of 10 marbles.
So, the probability of drawing a blue marble is 5/10 or 1/2, the probability of drawing a red marble is 3/10, and the probability of drawing a white marble is 2/10 or 1/5.
Remember, probabilities are always expressed as ratios or decimals between 0 and 1, where 0 represents an impossible event and 1 represents a certain event.
