Question

What is the possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag containing 9 red marbles, 6 blue marbles , 7 green marbles and 11 yellow marbles

Answer 1

Answer:

16/33

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a bag of :

9 red marbles

6 blue marbles

7 green marbles

11 yellow marbles

Total number of marbles = 33 marbles.

The possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag

P( Red or Green) = P(Red) + P(Green)

In the question we are not told if it is with replacement or without. We do both

With replacement

P( R or G) = P(Red) + P(Green)

P(Red)= 9/33

P(Green) = 7/33

= 9/33 + 7/33

= 16/33

Therefore, the possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag is 16/33
