Simple Probability Practice Use the following results for numbers 1-4. Martin has a bag of marbles. He removed one marble, recorded the color and then placed it back in the bag. He repeated the process several times and recorded his results in the table. Based on the frequency table, find the probability of randomly drawing the colors listed below. Color Frequency Red 12 Blue 10 Green 15 Yellow 13 1) P (red or green) = 2) P (blue) = 3) P (yellow) = 4) P (not blue) =

Step 1
- Probability of red marble = 12/50 - Probability of green marble = 15/50 - Add the probabilities: 12/50 + 15/50 = 27/50 ** Show more…

Here are 11 Marbles in a jar. They are identical except for color. Five are Red; three are Blue, two are Yellow, and one is White. You draw a marble from the jar, note its color, and set it aside. Then, you draw another marble from the jar and note its color. Tree Diagram: What is the probability that you draw two Red marbles? What is the probability that you draw a Blue marble GIVEN that you have drawn a Red one? What is the probability that you draw a Blue and Yellow marble in EITHER ORDER? What is the probability that you draw EITHER a White marble or a Yellow marble?

A bag contains 4 white, 3 blue, and 5 red marbles. 1. Find the probability of choosing a red marble, then white marbles if the marbles are being replaced. 1/12 5/36 5/6 5/12 **** 2. Find the probability of choosing 3 blue marbles in a row if the marbles are being replaced. 2/11**** 1/220 1/27 1/64 3. Find the probability of choosing a blue marble, then red marbles if the marbles are not being replaced. 5/44 15/35 2/3**** 1/15 4. Find the probability of choosing 2 white marbles in a row if the marbles are not being replaced. 1/11 1/9 2/3 1/16

Find the probability for the experiment of drawing two marbles at random (without replacement) from a bag containing one green, two yellow, and three red marbles. (Hint: Use combinations to find the numbers of outcomes for the given event and sample space.) Both marbles are yellow.
