A bag contains 10 marbles of the same size that are red, yellow, and orange. The probability of picking a red marble is 10%. The probability of picking a yellow marble is 60%. Determine the probability of picking an orange marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking an orange marble as likely or not likely to occur.



Answer :

The probability of picking a orange marble it 30%

The probability of picking an orange marble from the bag is; 30%

Solving Probability of Selection

We are given;

Probability of picking a red marble = 10%

Probability of picking a yellow marble = 60%.

Thus;

10% (chance of red) + 60% (chance of yellow) = 70%

The probability of Picking a Colored Marble = 100%

Thus;

probability of picking an orange marble from the bag is;

100% - 70% = 30%
