Question

A bag contains 25 marbles of the same size that are yellow, green, and purple. The probability of picking a yellow marble is 20%. The probability of picking a green marble is 50%. Determine the probability of picking a purple marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking a purple marble as likely or not likely to occur？​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:Probability of picking a purple marble from the bag = 0.3 or 30%

probability of picking yellow marble =20%

=20/100

=0.2

Probability of picking a green marble =50%

=0.5

probability of picking a purple marble=1-( 0.2+0.5)

=1-(0.7)

=0.3

0.3>0.2

0.3<0.5

Picking a purple marble is likely to happen.
