Probability of Drawing Marbles from a Jar
Calculating Probability of Drawing a Red Marble:
Total number of marbles: 12 red marbles + 10 blue marbles = 22 marbles
Probability of drawing a red marble: 12 red marbles / 22 total marbles = 6/11
Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble from the jar is 6/11. What is the probability of drawing a blue marble from the same jar? Similar to the calculation for drawing a red marble, the probability of drawing a blue marble can be determined by dividing the total number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles in the jar.Calculating Probability of Drawing a Blue Marble:
Total number of marbles: 12 red marbles + 10 blue marbles = 22 marbles
Probability of drawing a blue marble: 10 blue marbles / 22 total marbles = 5/11
Thus, the probability of drawing a blue marble from the jar is 5/11.
