Answer:

a) 5/12 probability of selecting a red marble.

b) 7/12 probability of selecting a green marble.

c) 0% probability of selecting a purple marble.

d) All marbles are either red or green, so 100% probability of selecting a red or a green marble

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

a) A red marble

5 red marbles out of 5 + 7 = 12 total marbles

So, 5/12 probability of selecting a red marble.

b) A green marble

7 green marbles out of 5 + 7 = 12 total marbles

So, 7/12 probability of selecting a green marble.

c) A purple marble

There are no purple marbles, so 0% probability of selecting a purple marble.

d) A red or a green marble

All marbles are either red or green, so 100% probability of selecting a red or a green marble
