Question

A bag contained 4 red tiles,9 yellow tiles, 8 blue tiles,7 green tiles, and 10 purple tiles.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/19

Explanation:

The total number of marbles in the bag

= 4+9+8+7+10

=38

Number of purple tiles in the bag = 10

Therefore, the theoretical probability of drawing a purple tile is:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{10}{38} \\ =\frac{5}{19} \end{gathered}$

Note: We do not use the values in the table, that will be the experimental probability.
