The results of Kerry randomly selecting one marble from the bag out of 65 selections are;

• White marble = 41

• Yellow Marble = 24

Now, these numbers of marbles represents the amount of times the respective colors are gotten for every 65 selections. Thus;

P(next marble that Kerry selects will be white) = 41/65 * 100

P(next marble that Kerry selects will be white) ≈ 63%
