Question 1025013: Pierre asks Sherry a question involving the theoretical probability of a compound event in which you flip a coin and draw a marble from a bag of marbles. The bag of marbles coins 3 white marbles, 8 green marbles, and 9 black marbles. Sherry's answer, which is correct, is 12/40. What was Pierre's question? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Flip a coin has a probability of and it's independent so the probability of the marble problem was,
Probability of choosing a white marble from the bag fits the bill.
