Question

Jim Carey pulls a colored marble out of a bowl, choosing the marble at random. There are 120 marbles in the bowl, of which 80 are black, 28 are white, and the rest are red. Use words and numbers to describe the probability that she will pull a red marble out of the bowl.

Answer 1

The probability of pulling a red marble out of the bowl can be calculated by dividing the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles.

Number of red marbles = 120 - 80 - 28 = 12
Total number of marbles = 120

Probability of pulling a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
= 12 / 120
= 1 / 10
= 0.1
= 10%.

Therefore, there is a 10% probability that Jim Carrey will pull a red marble out of the bowl.

Answer 2

Make it like a 7th grader wrote it and three sentences

Answer 3

There is a 12 out of 120 chance of Jim Carrey pulling a red marble, so that's like 1 out of 10 or 10%. This means there is a small probability of getting a red marble, only 10% chance.
