Question

Of the marbles in a​ bag, 5 are blue​, 2 are white​, and 2 are yellow. Sandra will randomly choose one marble from the bag.

Answer 1

`(2)/(9)`

Explanation:

Given that,

A bag contains 5 blue, 2 white and 2 yellow marbles.

We need to find the probability of choosing a white marble from the bag.

Total no. of outcomes = 5+2+2

= 9

No. of white marbles = 2

Required probability,

`P=(2)/(9)`

So, the probability of choosing a white marble is equal to
`(2)/(9)`.
