A bag contains 25 marbles of the same size that are yellow, green, and purple. The probability of picking a yellow marble is 20%. The probability of picking a green marble is 50%. Determine the probability of picking a purple marble from the bag and then classify the probability of picking a purple marble as likely or not likely to occur.

Respuesta :

The probability of picking any one marble would be 100%.


Since picking yellow is 20% and picking green is 50%, then picking purple would be:

100% - 50% - 20% = 30%


Since the probability of picking purple is less than 50%, it would be unlikely to occur.
