Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of marbles = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10
Probability of choosing 1 green marble = 2/10
Probability of choosing 1 yellow marble = 3/10
Notice (and this is important) that the denominator didn't change. Why?
Because you replaced the first marble into the bag. That word replacement is critical in a problem of this nature. There is the term non replacement which means that the second draw would have a denominator of 9.
So what is the probability of P(green then yellow)?
P(green then yellow) = 3/10 * 2/10 = 6/100
Answer: P(green then yellow) = 3/50 because 6 / 100 reduces.
Answer:

- <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
- <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
- <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

Explanation:
<u>1. As a fraction:</u>
Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:
- Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week
<u>2. As a proportion:</u>
A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.
Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:
Where x is the probability.
<u>3. As a percentage</u>
You just have to multiply the probability by 100:
