Q. Diane has pulled 22 green marbles and 1010 other marbles from a large bag. What is the experimental probability that the next marble selected from the bag will be green? \newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newlineP(green)=____P(\text{green}) = \_\_\_\_
  1. Use Formula: To calculate the experimental probability of selecting a green marble, we need to use the formula:\newlineP(green)=Number of green marblesTotal number of marblesP(\text{green}) = \frac{\text{Number of green marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}\newlineDiane has pulled 22 green marbles and 1010 other marbles, so the total number of marbles she has pulled is 22 (green) + 1010 (other) = 1212 marbles.
  2. Calculate Probability: Now we can calculate the experimental probability of selecting a green marble based on the past events:\newlineP(green)=Number of green marblesTotal number of marblesP(\text{green}) = \frac{\text{Number of green marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}\newlineP(green)=212P(\text{green}) = \frac{2}{12}
  3. Simplify Fraction: We can simplify the fraction 212\frac{2}{12} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 22:P(green)=(2÷2)(12÷2)P(\text{green}) = \frac{(2 \div 2)}{(12 \div 2)}P(green)=16P(\text{green}) = \frac{1}{6}
