Question

There are three different colored balls: orange, green and purple. The probability of randomly choosing orange ball from a bag is 45%. The probability of randomly choosing a green ball from bag is 0.10. Explain how likely it is, in relation to 0, for Jared to randomly choose a purple ball from the bag. * l

Answer 1

Explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probabiity = expected outcome/total outcome

Let the total outcome be 100% = 1.0

Given three different colored balls: orange, green and purple. If the probability of randomly choosing orange ball from a bag is 45%. The probability of randomly choosing a green ball from bag is 0.10

The probability of choosing both orange ball and green ball is 0.45+0.10 = 0.55.

Since the total outcome of probability is 1, then the probability for Jared to randomly choose a purple ball from the bag will be expressed as;

Pr(purple) = 1 - [Pr(green)+Pr(orange)]

Pr(purple) = 1 - [0.45+0.10]

Pr(purple) = 1 - 0.55

Pr(purple) = 0.45

Hence it is 45% likely for Jared to randomly choose a purple ball from the bag.
