A glass jar contains 1 red, 3 green, 2 blue and 4 yellow marbles. If a single marble is chosen at random from the jar
A) Probability of getting a yellow marble is $$\frac{1}{5}$$
B) Probability of getting a green marble is $$\frac{3}{10}$$
C) Probability of getting either a yellow or a green marble is $$\frac{7}{10}$$
D) Probability of getting either a red or a yellow marble is $$\frac{3}{10}$$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A glass jar contains 1 red, 3 green, 2 blue and 4 yellow marbles.
If a single marble is chosen at random from the jar, the probability of getting a yellow marble =$$\frac{\text{no of yellow marbles}}{\text{Total no of mables}}$$= $$\frac{4}{10}$$
Probability of getting a green marble = $$\frac{\text{no of green marbles}}{\text{Total no of mables}}$$ =Â $$\frac{3}{10}$$
Probability of getting either a yellow or a green marble =Â $$\frac{\text{no of yellow or green marbles}}{\text{Total no of mables}}$$ = $$\frac{4+3}{10}$$ =Â $$\frac{7}{10}$$
Probability of getting either a red or a yellow marble = $$\frac{\text{no of yellow or red marbles}}{\text{Total no of mables}}$$ = $$\frac{4+1}{10}$$ = $$\frac{5}{10}$$
So, only B, C are correct.
