Question

A bag contains five red marbles, two orange marbles, one yellow marble, and two green marbles. Two marbles are drawn from the bag.
What is the approximate probability of choosing an orange marble and a green marble?

0.02222
0.04444
0.08889
0.13333

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is

$\frac{2}{10} \div \frac{2}{9} = .04444$
the probability of choosing an orange marble is 2/10 because there are 2 orange marbles and 10 marbles in total.

the probability of choosing a green marble is 2/9 because there are 2 green marbles and 9 marbles in total (because you already picked one marble out of the bag thereby decreasing the total number of marbles in all).

when you multiply the probability of these two events you get .04444 which is the probability of both events happening simultaneously.
