Question

Select all the situations that describe a probability of 1/6 of drawing a red marble out the bag.
​
(A) 1 red, 6 yellow, 6 green, 6 blue, 6 white

(B) 3 red, 4 yellow, 4 green, 4 blue, 3 white

(C) 4 red, 5 yellow, 5 green, 4 blue, 6 white

(D) 6 red, 6 yellow, 6 green, 6 blue, 6 white


6 red, 4 yellow, 8 green, 6 blue, 12 white

Answer 1

The correct answer is E (6 red, 4 yellow, 8 green, 6 blue, 12 white).

E) 6 + 4 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 36 (total marble count)
6 red/36 total marbles
simplify to find the probability ⬇️
(6/6=1; 36/6=6) = 1/6 chance of picking red
