Marco randomly pulled a marble out of a bag and then returned the marble to the bag. He did this 10 times. Three times the marble was green. Kira spun a wheel with sections of different colors. The wheel landed on blue 6 times of the 15 spins. Robin decides to pull a marble from the bag and spin the wheel once.

Based on the results from Marco and Kira, what is the probability that Robin pulls out a green marble and the wheel lands on blue

Answer: Kind of late I guess however I still did it and explained it!

3/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Green: 3/10

Green was 3/10 since 3 out of 10 times it was green, so the total is 10 making it the denominator, and the number of times it was green was 3 making it the numerator since out of 3 times it was green.

Blue: 6/15

Blue is 6/15 since out of 15 times, the wheel was green 6 times. Since 15 is the total/the whole it is the denominator. Since 6 is the amount, it is the numerator.

Probability: 3/25

3/10*6/15 = 18/150 = 3/25

Green: 3/10

Blue: 6/15

Probability Robin: 3/10 X 6/15 = 18/150 = 3/25
