Question

A jar contains 5 red marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 orange marbles and 3purple marbles.4) What is the probability of drawing a green marble?

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a green marble would be the ratio between the number of green marbles, and the total number of marbles.

$P=\frac{6}{5+6+12+3}=\frac{6}{26}=\frac{3}{13}$

Hence, the probability is 3/13.
