Question

A bag contains 5 white marbles and 5 black marbles what is the probability of drawing a white marble not replacing it and then drawing a black marble

Answer 1

5/10 or 1/2 because there is 10 marbles in total so denominator is 10 and we are pulling white marbles and there is 5 (so what ever the variable is for this case it is the white marbles that would be the numerator so 5/10)

Hope this Helps :D

Answer 2

Answer: white marble: you have a 5/10% chance

Black marble: you have a 5/9% chance

Explanation:

for the white marble you have 5 out 10 because there are half and half then you have to add them all up for the total and not placing it back in the bag there are only 9 left with still 5 black ones so you have a 5 out 9 chance to get a black one
