KC
Example 1 Use Fractions to Describe Probability One marble is chosen from the bag. Find the probability that a red marble is chosen.
Example 1 Use Fractions to Describe Probability P(event) = number of favorable outcomes number of possible outcomes P(red) = 6 16 P(red) = 3 8 number of red marbles total number of marbles Simplify. Answer: So, the probability of choosing a red marble is. 3 8
1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D Example 1 B. 1 8 One marble is chosen from the bag. Find the probability that a blue marble is chosen. D A. 3 8 C. 1 2
Example 2 Jamal is making a beaded belt. Each packet of beads comes in the colors shown in the table. If Jamal takes one bead without looking, what is the probability that he gets a blue or green bead? There are or 60 beads in all. There are or 42 beads that are either blue or green.
Example 2 P(event) = number of favorable outcomes number of possible outcomes P(blue or green) = = = 7 10 blue or green beads total number of beads Add. Simplify. Answer: So, the probability that Jamal will get a blue or green bead is. 7 10
1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D Example 2 Looking at the chart below, what is the probability of picking a red or a yellow bead at random? B. 5 8 D A. 3 8 C. 1 8
