Question

Mel has a bag containing white and yellow marbles.

Mel randomly selects one marble from the bag,
records the result, and returns the marble to the bag.
The results of the first 65 selections are:
A white marble was selected 41 times
A yellow marble was selected 24 times
Based the on the results, what is the probability that
the next marble Mel selects, rounded to the nearest
percent, will be white?

Answer 1

63%

Explanation:

A white marble was selected 41 out of 65 times, making the probability of getting white 41/65.

To convert this to percent, divide 41 by 65, then multiply by 100%.

41/65 = 0.630769 = 63% (rounded)
