Answer:

Probability states the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

i.e,
probability = (Number of favourable outcomes )/(Total number of possible outcomes)

A bag contains:

Brown marble = 4

Green marbles = 3

Red marbles = 2

Purple marble = 1

Total number of possible outcomes = (4+3+2+1) = 10 marbles

P(Brown marbles) =
(4)/(10)=(2)/(5) = 40\% = 0.4

P(Green marbles) =
(3)/(10) = 30\% = 0.3

P(Red marbles) =
(2)/(10)=(1)/(5) = 20\% = 0.2

and

P(Purple marbles) =
(1)/(10)= 10\% = 0.1
