Question

A bag contains 32 red​ blocks, 47 green​ blocks, 21 yellow​ blocks, and 25 purple blocks. You pick one block from the bag at random. Find the indicated theoretical probability.

​P(green or purple​)

Answer 1

P(green or purple​) = 0.576

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that:

32 + 47 + 21 + 25 = 125 blocks.

Of those, 47 + 25 = 72 are green of purple

​P(green or purple​) = 72/125 = 0.576
