Experiment 3: A glass jar contains 6 red, 5 green, 8 blue and 3 yellow marbles. If a single marble is chosen at random from the jar, what is the probability of choosing a red marble? a green marble? a blue marble? a yellow marble? [IMAGE]
Outcomes: The possible outcomes of this experiment are red, green, blue and yellow.
Probabilities:
P(red) = # of ways to choose red = 6 = 3
total # of marbles 22 11
P(green) = # of ways to choose green = 5
total # of marbles 22
P(blue) = # of ways to choose blue = 8 = 4
total # of marbles 22 11
P(yellow) = # of ways to choose yellow = 3
total # of marbles 22
