Question

Jane has 4 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 2 yellow marbles in a bag. Jane will randomly pick one marble from the bag. What is the probability the marble will be yellow? A) 1 7 B) 1 9 C) 2 7 D) 2 9

Answer 1

Answer: 2/9

Explanation:

Answer 2

C) 2/9

Explanation:

There are 9 total marbles in the bag and 2 are yellow.

Probability = (number of desired outcomes)/(number of total outcomes)

Here the desired outcome is pulling a yellow marble, there are 2 ways we can do that since there are 2 yellow marbles.

The total number of outcomes is 9 since there are 9 total marbles in the bag

Our fraction is 2/9
