Cluster 3 Review Assignment1. Josh placed 3 yellow, 6 black, 3 green, and 9 orange marbles in a bowl. Without lookingJosh will take a marble out of the bowl. What is the probability Josh will take an orangemarble out?

Answer 1

The probability of taking an orange marbe out, equals the amount of orange marbles divided by the total amount of marbles.

Since there are 3 yellow, 6 black, 3 green and 9 orange marbles, the total number of marbles is:

`3+6+3+9=21`

The probability of taking an orange marble out, will be:

`(9)/(21)=(3)/(7)`

Therefore, there is a 3/7 probability of taking an orange marbe out.
