Question

A hat contains 35 marbles. Of them, 20 are red and 15 are green. If one marble is randomly selected out of this hat, what is the probability that this marble is red? Round your answer to two decimal places. P(A) = ​

Answer 1

P(A) = 0.57 (rounded to two decimal places).

Explanation:

The probability of selecting a red marble from the hat can be found by dividing the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles:

P(red) = number of red marbles / total number of marbles

P(red) = 20/35

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5:

P(red) = 4/7

So the probability of selecting a red marble from the hat is 4/7, or approximately 0.57 when rounded to two decimal places.

Therefore, P(A) = 0.57 (rounded to two decimal places).
