A box contains marbles of five different colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and purple. there is an equal number of each color. assign probabilities to each color in the sample space. (give your answers as fractions.)
P(red) = 1/5 [that says "probability of getting red is one fifth" P(green) = 1/5 P(blue) = 1/5 P(yellow) = 1/5 P(purple) = 1/5
The reason the fractions are all the same is that there are equal numbers of each color. For example, if there were 7 marbles of each color, there would be a total of 35 marbles.
