Question 1202742: A sack filled with marbles contains:
17 red marbles numbered 1 to 17
35 blue marbles numbered 1 to 35
42 green marbles numbered 1 to 42
13 yellow marbles numbered 1 to 13
The answer should be entered as a decimal and if necessary, round to at least four decimal places.
If you randomly pull one marble out of the sack, what is the probability the marble is numbered 2 or green in color?
The number of all possible outcomes is
17 + 35 + 42 + 13 = 107.
The favorable outcomes are 42 green marbles PLUS 3 marbles numbered "2" of other colors.
In all, there are 42 + 3 = 45 favorable outcomes.
All outcomes are of the same likelihood.
Therefore, the answer to the problem's question is
P = .
