A jar contains a total of 44 marbles in four different colors. Of the marbles in the jar, 11 are red, 15 are blue, 13 are green, and 5 are yellow.

What is the probability that they will draw:
a. A yellow marble?
b. A blue or green marble?
c. What is the probability that they WILL NOT draw a red marble?

Respuesta :

a)

The probability of drawing a yellow marble is:

[tex]P=\frac{\text{number of yellow marbles}}{\text{number of all marbles in total}} = \frac{5}{44}=0.1136[/tex]

b)

The probability of drawing a blue or green marble is:

[tex]P=\frac{\text{number of blue and green marble}}{\text{number of all marbles in total}} = \frac{15+13}{44} = \frac{28}{44}=0.6363[/tex]

c)

The probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

[tex]P=\frac{\text{number of marbles that are not red}}{\text{number of all marbles in total}} = \frac{44-11}{44}=\frac{33}{44}=0.75[/tex]
