Question

A bag contains 16 green marbles, 12 red marbles, 15 white marbles, and 7 black marbles. What is the probability of drawing a green marble out of the bag? A. B. C. D.

Answer 1

the probability will be $\frac{desired \space\ outcomes}{total \space\ possible \space\ outcomes}$

desired=green=16

total possible=all marbles=16+12+15+7=50

probability=$\frac{16}{50}=$32%

it's a 32% probability to get a green marble
