Example Questions

Example Question #851 : Grade 7

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:

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4}{11}$

$\frac{3}{11}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

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 $\frac{4}{11}$

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 $\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$
