Given the statement:
A bag contains 9 marbles, of which 3 are red and 6 are blue. players 1 and 2 take turns drawing marbles from the bag without replacement until a red marble is drawn
Solution:
We can determine the probability of drawing the red marble, by dividing the total number of red marbles by the total number of marbles.
= 3/9
= 0.3333
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.3333)(100)
= 33.33%
Final answer:
= 33.33%
