Question

A bag has 2 red, 3 blue, and 5 green marbles. A marble is randomly drawn from the bag. Select all the correct probabilities.

A. P(red) = 14
B. P(blue or green) = 37
C. P(green) = 12
D. P(not red) = 45
E. P(not green) = P(green)

Answer 1

I think it is answer E. because I think it is blue.

Answer 2

Find total marbles:

2 + 3 + 5 = 10

A. There are 2 red, so probability of picking red would be 2 out of 10 which would be 2/5. So A is false.

B. 3 blue + 5 green = 8 marbles. Probability of picking blue or green would be 8 out of 10 which would be 4/5 so B is false.

C. Picking green would be 5 out of 10 which would be 1/2 so c is true.

D. Picking not red would be picking green or blue which is the same as B. Which is 4/5 so D. Is true.

E. Since half the marbles are green and half the marbles are not green this one is also true.

The possibilities are C, D, and E
