A box contains 1111 large marbles and 1111 small marbles. Each marble is either green or white. 66 of the large marbles are green, and 44 of the small marbles are white. If a marble is randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that it is small or green? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.7727 = 77.27% probability that it is small or green

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In this question:

11 large + 11 small = 22 total marbles = 22 total outcomes

11 small marbles  + 6 green large marbles = 17 desired outcomes.

What is the probability that it is small or green?

[tex]p = \frac{17}{22} = 0.7727[/tex]

0.7727 = 77.27% probability that it is small or green
