Let's just go through all possible answers and see which ones give what you are asking for.


1

the Total number of marbles is 10

You have 2 blue marbles

P(blue) = 2/10 = 1/5 which is not a good answer.


2

There are 3 red marbles.

P(red) = 3/10 = 0.3 which is greater than 1/5 <<<< Possible answer.


3

3 red marbles out of 10 = 3/10

2 blue marbles = 2/9

Probability of (red then blue)= 3/10 * 2/9 = 1/15 which is not greater than 1/5


4

1 white marble replacing it and white again.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 which is greater than 1/5 <<<<<<<< Answer


5

There are 5 white marbles. 5/10 is the probability of drawing a white. P(white) = 1/2. That is greater than 1/5.<<<< Possible Answer

A single gram of a certain metallic substance has 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc the remaining portion of the substance is
andrezito [222]
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
