Question

There are 30 colored marbles inside a bag. Six marbles are yellow, 9 are red, 7 are white, and 8 are blue. One is drawn at random. Which color is most likely to be chosen?

Answer 1

Answer:

Red

The red marbles will most likely be chosen since these are more red marbles than there are white or blue.

Answer 2

Answer:

Red

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of desired outcomes divided by total outcomes.

We got:

6y+9r+7w+8b = 30

Probability of each color being chosen:

Yellow:

$\frac{6}{30}= 20\%$

Red:

$\frac{9}{30}= 30\%$

White:

$\frac{7}{30}= 23.3\%$

Blue:

$\frac{8}{30}= 26.6\%$
