A bag has sixteen marbles in it. There are four of each color. There
are four red, four blue, four green and four yellow.
What is the probability that you will pull a red marble out of the bag?

Respuesta :

Answer: 25 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of pulling out a red colored marble is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or 25%.

What is probability?

'Probability is a branch of math which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event.'

According to the given problem,

Total number of marbles = 16

Number of red marbles = 4

Probability = [tex]\frac{No of possible outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}[/tex]

The number of possible outcome is the number of red marbles = 4

Total number of outcomes is the total number of marbles = 16

⇒ Probability = [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

                        or, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × 100

                        = 25%

Hence, the probability of pulling out a red marble is 25%.
