Question

there is a jar of 25 marbles. 9 of the marbles have a blue and black pattern. 6 of the marbles are purple. 10 of the marbles are green. one marble is chosen at random. what is the probability of picking to blue and black patterned marbles?​

Answer 1

.36% chance of picking

Answer 2

Probability = 9/25

This is 36%

Explanation:

To find the probability take the total number of possibilities (25 marbles--all of them) put that number on the bottom of a fraction. Then put the number of ways that outcome can happen (9 blue and black) and put that on top of the fraction.

Probability(event)

= specific/total

Probability(blu&blk)

= 9/25

If the fraction can be simplified, do that. 9/25 cannot be simplified.

If you need a percent for your answer, divide then multiply by 100.

A fraction bar is a division symbol.

9/25 means 9÷25.

9/25 = .36

Percent means "per hundred" To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100

.36×100 is 36%
