12 x 3 = 36
12 x 8 = 96
96 - 36 = 60
there are 60 blue pens in the box.
25/50 gives the probability of selecting a blue marble
The probability of selecting 4 red marbles or 5 blue marbles depends on how many marbles there are altogether, and how many of the total number of marbles are red and how many are blue.
The theoretical probability of randomly picking each color marble is the number of color marbles you have for each color, divided by the total number of marbles. For example, the probability of selecting a red marble is 3/20.
It is 15/50 = 0.3
Probability of not blue is the probability of white. The probability of white is 11/(11+21) or 11/32.
The probability is 19/25 * 18/24 = 0.57
To find the number of blue counters, we first determine the total number of counters in the bag. Given that the probability of selecting a red counter is 0.3 and there are 90 red counters, we can use the formula for probability: ( P(\text{Red}) = \frac{\text{Number of Red Counters}}{\text{Total Counters}} ). Rearranging, we find that the total number of counters is ( \frac{90}{0.3} = 300 ). Thus, the number of blue counters is ( 300 - 90 = 210 ).
There is a probability of 3 that it will be blue.
First, there are 3 greens out of 8, then 4 blues out of 7. So the probability is these two ratios multiplied: P(green, blue) = P(green/8) * P(blue/7) = (3/8) * (4/7) = 12/56 or 3/14
To find the probability that a blue marble will NOT be selected, first calculate the total number of marbles: 9 red + 6 blue + 7 green + 11 yellow = 33 marbles. The number of non-blue marbles is 9 red + 7 green + 11 yellow = 27 marbles. Therefore, the probability of NOT selecting a blue marble is 27/33, which simplifies to 9/11.
There are a total of 52 candies in the bag (13 red + 13 green + 13 yellow + 13 blue). The number of candies that are not blue is 39 (13 red + 13 green + 13 yellow). The probability of selecting a candy that is not blue is the number of non-blue candies divided by the total number of candies, which is ( \frac{39}{52} ) or ( \frac{3}{4} ).
The probability of drawing a blue marble from a bag containing 18 marbles, of which 3 are blue, is calculated by dividing the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles. Therefore, the probability is ( \frac{3}{18} ), which simplifies to ( \frac{1}{6} ). Thus, the probability of drawing a blue marble is approximately 0.167 or 16.7%.
