If there are 3 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 1 green marble in a bag, what is the probability of drawing a blue marble if you already drew 1 blue marble and did not replace it?

Respuesta :

The probability of drawing a blue marble out a bag

 ⇒ is the number of blue marbles over the total number of marbles in

     the bag

However, since one blue marble was already drawn out

   ⇒ we must minus one from the total blue marbles

      ⇒we must also minus one from the total marble

Thus the probability is

  [tex]\frac{Number-of-Blue-Marbles}{Total-Number-of-Marbes} =\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Answer: 2/5

Hope that helps!
