A bag contains 3 red marbles 5 blue marbles 8 yellow marbles and 4 black marbles what is the theoretical probability of randomly picking each color marble?

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.


If there are 3 black marbles 2 white marbles and 1 red marble what is the probability of selecting a black marble?

3/6 or 1/2 or 50%


What does equally likely events in math term mean?

When you are asked what is the probability of drawing "thing a" when you have only the same amount of "thing b," is called an equally likely event. For example: In a hat you have 8 black marbles and 8 black marbles. Since there the same amount of both, the chance of picking a black marble is 50% and picking a blue marble is 50%. This is an equally likely event.

If you have 50 black marbles and 50 white marbles in a bag at most how many times would you have to draw out a marble to get two the same colour?

The maximum number of marbles you have to draw is three. 1) Draw a marble. It is either white or black. 2) Draw a second marble. If it is the same colour as the first marble, we are done after two draws. 3) Otherwise, the drawn marbles have different colours. Draw a third marble. No matter what you draw next, you must have two marbles of the same colour.

What is the equation used to determine probability?

Number of possibilities for one category / Total of all possibilities. For example, if I had a bag of marbles where there are three white marbles and two black marbles. The probability of pulling out a white marble is how many white marbles are in the bag which is: three. But the total of things you can draw out of the bag can either be one of the three white marbles or one of the two black marbles. 3 white marbles+ 2 Black marbles= five marbles. Possibility is 3/5 for drawing a white marble.
