Question

A bag of marbles contains 6 blue marbles, 2 yellow marbles, 4 red marbles, and 1 green marble. what is the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble?

Answer 1

Its probably 2 to 13

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of yellow marbles in the bag = 2

The total number of marbles in the bag = $6+2+4+1=13$

Now, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble is given by:-

$P(\text{yellow})=\frac{\text{yellow marble}}{\text{total marbles}}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(\text{yellow})=\frac{2}{13}$

Hence, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble=$\frac{2}{13}$
