Question

What are the odds of choosing a red marble from a bag that contains two blue marbles, one green marble and four red marbles?

Answer 1

4/7.

Explanation:

This the question in which marbles have to be taken out of a bag. Odds in another word for probability.

Total number of marbles in the bag = 2 Blue + 1 Green + 4 Red = 7 marbles.

Required marbles = 3 red marbles.

Therefore:

P (a red marble is selected in the first attempt) = Red Marbles / Total Marbles.

P (a red marble is selected in the first attempt) = 4/7.

Therefore, the correct answer is 4/7!!!
