Your friend has a bag of marbles. Your friend says that there is a 100% chance that you pick out a red marble and a 0% chance that you pick a green one.

What can you conclude about the colors of the marbles inside of your friend's bag?
Can you determine exactly how many marbles are in the bag? Why or why not?

Answer:

1. They are all red. 2. There is no possible way to come to a conclusion

Explanation:

If there is a 100% chance you will draw a red marble, they all have to be red or it would not be a 100% chance.

We can't conclude how many marbles are in the bag because the question states nothing about how many marbles there are.
