Question

7.SP.L.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) two

b) S = {Orange, Purple}

c) 50%

d) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

When a marble is drawn from the jar, there are two possible outcomes. Either the marble will be orange or it will be purple.

b)

A sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an event. Thus, the sample space in this case will be:

Sample Space = {Orange, Purple}

c)

The probability of an event is given as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Therefore,

Probability of selecting orange marble = P(Orange) = 1/2

P(Orange) = 0.5 = 50%

d)

Probability of selecting purple marble = P(Orange) = 1/2

P(purple) = 0.5 = 50%
