a bag contains 18 marbles. there 2 green 7 yellow and 9 blue marbles is it impossible that a green marble will be selected



Answer :

Answer:

it is indeed possible to select a green marble from the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether it's impossible for a green marble to be selected from the bag, we need to calculate the probability of selecting a green marble.

The probability of an event occurring is given by:

Probability

=

Number of favorable outcomes

Total number of outcomes

Probability=

Total number of outcomes

Number of favorable outcomes

In this case, the total number of marbles is 18.

The number of favorable outcomes (selecting a green marble) is 2.

So, the probability of selecting a green marble is:

Probability of green marble

=

2

18

Probability of green marble=

18

2

Probability of green marble

=

1

9

Probability of green marble=

9

1

Since the probability of selecting a green marble is not zero, it is indeed possible to select a green marble from the bag.
