Example Question #1 : Understand Fraction Of Outcomes: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8a

Joe has a bag of  marbles:  red marbles, , yellow marbles, and  blue marbles. If the first marble he draws is a red marble, then what is the probability that he will draw a blue marble on his second try? 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Joe starts out with  marbles, and  of the marbles are blue. This means that the probability of Joe drawing a blue marble from the bag on his first attempt is 

Now that Joe has taken a red marble from the bag, we still have  blue marbles left, but only a total of  marbles left in the bag; thus, the probability of Joe drawing a blue marble on his second attempt is 

Example Question #2 : Understand Fraction Of Outcomes: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8a

Dan has a bag of  marbles:  red marbles, , yellow marbles, and  blue marbles,  purple marble, and  orange. If the first marble he draws is a purple marble, then what is the probability that he will draw a red marble on his second try? 

 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Dan starts out with  marbles, and  of the marbles are red. This means that the probability of Dan drawing a blue marble from the bag on his first attempt is 

Now that Dan has taken a purple marble from the bag, we still have  red marbles left, but only a total of  marbles left in the bag; thus, the probability of Dan drawing a red marble on his second attempt is 

Example Question #141 : Statistics & Probability

Joe has a bag of  marbles:  red marbles, , yellow marbles, and  blue marbles. If the first marble he draws is a red marble, then what is the probability that he will draw another red marble on his second try? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Joe starts out with  marbles, and  of the marbles are red. This means that the probability of Joe drawing a red marble from the bag on his first attempt is 

Now that Joe has taken a red marble from the bag, we have only  red marbles left, and a total of  marbles left in the bag; thus, the probability of Joe drawing a red marble on his second attempt is 

Example Question #142 : Statistics & Probability

Joe has a bag of  marbles:  red marbles, , yellow marbles, and  blue marbles. If the first marble he draws is a yellow marble, then what is the probability that he will draw another yellow marble on his second try? 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Joe starts out with  marbles, and  of the marbles are yellow. This means that the probability of Joe drawing a yellow marble from the bag on his first attempt is 

Now that Joe has taken a yellow marble from the bag, we have only  yellow marbles left, and a total of  marbles left in the bag; thus, the probability of Joe drawing a yellow marble on his second attempt is
