Question

A bag with 8 marbles is shown below. (2 marbles are yellow, 3 are red, and 3 are blue.) A marble is chosen from the bag at random. What is the
probability that it is yellow or red?
Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that there are 8 marbles in total. 2 marbles are yellow and 3 are red, making the number of red AND yellow marbles 5 (2+3=5)

Because 5 out of the 8 marbles are yellow or red, the probability of choosing one of them is $\frac{5}{8}$.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

P(Red or Yellow) = 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (yellow) + 3 (red) = 5

Hence, the probability is 5/8
