Question

A jar consists of 3 red marbles, 5 green marbles, 6 blue marbles, and 4 yellow marbles. What is the probability of selecting

a green marble?
a) 5/18
b) 1/3
c) 2/9
d) 1/6

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a green marble from the jar is 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of selecting a green marble, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of green marbles to the total number of marbles in the jar.

Number of green marbles = 5
Total number of marbles = 3 (red) + 5 (green) + 6 (blue) + 4 (yellow) = 18

Probability of selecting a green marble = Number of green marbles / Total number of marbles = 5/18

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 5/18.
