There are 5 red marbles, 8 blue marbles, and 12 green marbles in a bag.

What is the theoretical probability of randomly drawing either a red marble or a blue marble?

20%
32%
13%
52%

Respuesta :

The probability of drawing a marble will be either red or blue is 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red marbles = 5

Number of blue marbles = 8

Number of green marbles = 12

Total number of balls = 25

To find the probability( either a red or blue marble)

Formula

Probability( either a red or blue marble) = P( red) + P(blue)

=[tex]\frac{5}{25} +\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{13}{25}[/tex]

Hence, the probability is = [tex]\frac{13}{25}[/tex]×100 = 52%

Answer:

52%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles in the bag is

5+8+12 = 25

P(red or blue) = (red+blue) / total

                        = (5+8)/25

                        =13/25

                         =.52

                         = 52%
