Question

A box contains 5 red marbles , 8 white and 4 green marbles . one marble is taken out of the box at random . what is the probability that the marble taken out will be (1) red (2) white (3) not green

Answer 1

number of red Marbles is 5
number of white Marbles is 8
number of Green Marbles is 4
total number of Marbles is 17
probability of red marble= 5/17
probability of white marble is 8/17
probability of not green marble is the sum of the red and the white marble then the sum is 13 so the probability is 13/ 17

Answer 2

Answer:Total number of outcome =5+8+4=17

1)Red

P(E)= 5/17

2)white

P(E)=8/17

3)not green

P(E)=13/17
