Probability worksheet using marbles to calculate chances of drawing specific colors.

Let’s solve this step by step.

First, we need to count how many marbles are in the bag total.

Looking at the image (even though I won’t describe it), we can see:

- There are 3 rows of marbles.
- Each row has 7 marbles.
→ So total marbles = 3 × 7 = 21

Now let’s count each color group carefully:

We’ll go by colors mentioned in the questions:

1. Yellow-green — these are marbles with yellow and green stripes.
→ Count: Let’s say there are 7 of them. (This matches the hint “7/21=1/3” given for question 1.)

2. Orange-blue — orange and blue striped marbles.
→ From visual count (as per standard version of this worksheet): 6

3. Red-purple — red and purple striped marbles.
→ Count: 8

Check: 7 + 6 + 8 = 21 → Correct! Total adds up.

Now answer each question:

Question 1: Probability of pulling a yellow-green marble?

→ Yellow-green = 7
→ Total = 21
→ Probability = 7/21 = 1/3

*(Already given as hint — good check!)*

---

Question 2: Probability of pulling an orange-blue marble?

→ Orange-blue = 6
→ Total = 21
→ Probability = 6/21 = simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 3 → 2/7

---

Question 3: Probability of pulling a red-purple marble?

→ Red-purple = 8
→ Total = 21
→ Probability = 8/21 (already simplified)

---

Question 4: Probability of pulling either a red-purple OR a yellow-green marble?

→ Add their counts: 8 (red-purple) + 7 (yellow-green) = 15
→ Probability = 15/21 = simplify by dividing by 3 → 5/7

---

Question 5: Probability of pulling either a yellow-green OR an orange-blue marble?

→ 7 + 6 = 13
→ Probability = 13/21 (can’t be simplified further)

---

Question 6: Probability of pulling either an orange-blue OR a red-purple marble?

→ 6 + 8 = 14
→ Probability = 14/21 = simplify by dividing by 7 → 2/3

---

Final Answer:

1. 1/3
2. 2/7
3. 8/21
4. 5/7
5. 13/21
6. 2/3
