Question

You randomly draw a marble from a bag of marbles that contains 8 blue marbles, 5 green marbles, and 8 red marbles.

Answer 1

You have a higher chance of getting a red or blue marble

Answer 2

Answer:

$0.76$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes

There are $16$ favorable outcomes ( the $8+8=16$ marables that are either blue or red).

There are $21$ possible outcomes (the $8+5+8=21$ total marables).

P (draw a blue or red marable) $= \frac{16}{21}$ ≈ $0.76$
