Question

A bag contains 10 black marbles and 6 red marbles. If a red

marble is drawn and not put back what is the probability of
selecting a black marble from the bag?

Answer 1

66.67% probability of selecting a black marble from the bag.

Explanation:

Initially there are 16 marbles, 10 of which are black and 6 of which are red.

A red marble is drawn and not put back. So now there are 15 marbles, of which 10 are black.

So there is a 10/15 = 2/3 = 0.666% 7 = 66.67% probability of selecting a black marble from the bag.
