Question

A box contains one green, two white, and five purple beads. Luis chooses a bead from the box. What are the probabilities of choosing a green bead and choosing a white bead?

Answer 1

No. of green bead = 1

No. of white bead = 2

No. of purple bead = 5

Total beads = 1+2+5=8

Probability of green bead = 1/8

Probability of white bead = 2/8 = 1/4

Probability of choosing either green or white = 3/8
