Question

There are two containers. Container A has 5 blue marbles, 2 green

and 8 yellow marbles in it. Container B has 3 blue and 7 yellow
marbles in it. Which container has the greater probability of
picking a yellow marble?

Answer 1

Container B has a greater probability of picking a yellow marble.

Explanation:

You may think that the answer is container A, but it's not. Container A has 15 total marbles. Container B has 10 marbles, and 70% of those 10 marbles, are yellow.

Answer 2

Answer: 7/25

Step-by-step explanation: you have 7 yellow marbles and then to get your denominator you have to add up all the marbles from container a and container b and you will get 25.

7= yellow marbles

25= all the marbles in container a and b

hope this helps.
