Question

A bag contains 20 marbles of the same size that are blue, green, and red. The probability of picking a blue marble is 20%. The probability of picking a green marble is 50%. Determine the probability of picking a red marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking a red marble as likely or not likely to occur.

Answer 1

There are 10 green and 4 blue which give you 6 red. so 30% and not as likely as green.

Answer 2

Hello!!

This is the correct answer.

Probability (Blue Marble) = 20%

Probability (Green Marble) = 50%

Probability (Red Marble) = ?

20% - 50% = 30%

The probability of picking a red marble from the bag is 30%.

Likely is defined as 50% so in this case, the probability of picking a red marble is not likely.

Hope this helps!!!!
