Answer 1

Answer:

P(red) = .3

P(yellow) = .3

75 cubes in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability has to add to 1

Since the number of red cubes equals the number of yellow cubes the probability has to be the same

.4 + x+x = 1

.4 +2x = 1

2x = 1-.4

2x = .6

Divide by 2

x = .6/2

x = .3

P(red) = .3

P(yellow) = .3

We know that

P(blue) = .4 = number of blue cubes/ total number of cubes

                 .4 = 30/total

                  total = 30/.4

                   total = 75
