Answer:
a) Red marble: 6/17
b) Green marble: 11/17
c) Purple marble : 0/17 = 0
d) a red or a green marble: 1
Explanation:
Number of marbles: 17
Probability to pick one red marble: (# successes) / (# total) = 6/17
Probability to pick a green marble: (# successes) / (# total) = 11/17
Probability to pick a purple marble: (# successes) / (# total) = 0/17 = 0
Probability to pick a green marble or a red marble: Prob one green + prob one red = 11/17 + 6/17 = 17/17 = 1
