Question

What is the probability of drawing 1 red marble out of a bag containing 4 red marbles, 3 green marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 1 purple marble?

Answer 1

Answer: Most probably

Explanation:

Answer 2

2/5

Explanation:

There are a total of 4+3+2+1=10 marbles in the bag. Since there is an equal chance of drawing any marble from the bag, the chances of drawing a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

What we're given:

• 4 red marbles
• 10 total marbles

Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble is:

`(4)/(10)=\boxed{(2)/(5)}`
