Answer:
The probability of selecting a small or white marble is 10/13
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of marbles is 15 + 11 = 26 marbles
The probability that we want to calculate is if the marble selected is small or white.
So we need to find the number of small marbles as well as the number of white marbles
We can construct a table to see the distribution of the marbles. Please check the attachment for this.
From the table , we can see that there are 11 small marbles and a total of 9 white marbles
The probability of selecting a white marble is;
number of white marbles/total number of marbles = 9/26
The probability of selecting a small marble will be ;
number of small marbles/total number of marbles = 11/26
In probability, whenever we have or, we tend to add
So therefore, the probability of selecting a white or small marble = Probability of selecting a white marble + Probability of selecting a small marble
Mathematically, that would be 9/26 + 11/26 = 20/26
So the probability is 10/13
