Question

If four blue marbles and eight non-blue marbles make a probability of 0.33, how many non-blue marbles do you need to combine with blue marbles to achieve a probability of 0.1.

Answer 1

The number of non-blue marbles you need to combine with the blue marbles to achieve a probability of 0.1 is 28.

How many non-blue marbles are needed?

Probability determines the odds that a random event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The more likely the event is to happen, the closer the probability value would be to 1. The less likely it is for the event not to happen, the closer the probability value would be to zero.

Probability of picking a blue marble = number of blue marble / total number of marbles

4 / (4 + 8)

4/12 = 0.33

The number of non-blue marbles needed = ( 4 / 0.1) - 12

40 - 12 = 28
