The probability of pulling a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles is 16 out of 22, or about 0.73.

if the balls are in the ratio of 7:10, then in every 7+10 = 17 of them 7 are white and 10 are black. With 136 marbles there are 136 ÷ 17 = 8 lots → there are 8 lots × 7 white/lot = 56 white.
Green as yellow and black are seas, i.e. the Black Sea and the Yellow Sea!

There are 8 marbles that aren't black, out of a total of 12 marbles, so the probability is 8/12 or 2/3.
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.
3/6 or 1/2 or 50%
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.
The answer is 9/12 or 3/4 probilty that you will pick a green or yellow marble.
3/6 * 3/5 = 6/30 or 1/5 so you have a 20% chance of pulling a white and then black marble.
The probability of drawing a white marble is .46
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.
3/7*3/7= 9/49
5/6
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.
