Question

You have a bag of 12 marbles. Six are blue, two are green, three are yellow, and one is red. If you reach into the bag and pull out one marble, what is the probability that it will be yellow?

Answer 1

1/4 or 25%

Explanation:

Given that:

• blue marbles : 6
• green marbles : 2
• yellow marbles: 3
• red marble: 1
• Total marbles: 12

If you reach into the bag and pull out one marble, so the probability that it will be yellow is:

P (Yellow) = Number of yellow marbles in the bag / Number of marbles in the bag

= 3/12

= 1/4 or 25%

Hope it will find you well.
