Question

If there are nine blue marbles and one red marble in a bag, what is the likelihood that you will choose a blue marble
certain
likely
unlikely
equally likely as unlikely
​

Answer 1

likely because there is more chance of getting blue marble than the red marble

Answer 2

Concept:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the total number of outcomes. Probability is never greater than one.

Given:

Blue marble = 9

Red marble = 1

Total number of marble = 10

Find:  

We are asked to find the likelihood that you will choose a blue marble.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of outcomes = 10

Probability of blue marble = 9/10 = 0.9

And,

Probability of red marble = 1/10 = 0.1

So, the likelihood that you will choose a blue marble is likely.

Hence we can say that the likelihood that you will choose a blue marble is likely.
