Question

There are 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 7 black marbles in a bag. Like the theoretical P(choosing a red)​

Answer 1

`(5)/(16)`

Explanation:

1. To find the answer, add up all the marbles.

4+5+7= 16

2. Because 16 is the total number of outcomes, it will be the denominator.

`\frac{}{16}`

3. Because 5 is the number of desireable outcomes, it will be the numerator.

`(5)/(16)`

(Note: the decimal equivalence is 0.3125).

(Note: the ratio equivalence is 5:16).

(Note: the percent equivalence is 31.25%).
