Question

A bag of marbles has 5 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 6 yellow marbles. A marble is drawn from the bag at random. How many possible outcomes are there?

3

5

6

14

Answer 1

Only 3 (answer 1) because there are only 3 colours and only one marble is drawn. The probabilities of drawing a particular colour are different because there are different numbers of coloured marbles.

WRONG! ITS 4, NOT 3! ANSWER 4!  Not best answer....

I wrongly assumed the marbles of the same colour were identical. So good for you in correcting that assumption!

Answer 2

The highest outcome would be yellow then blue then red since six is the highest number there is there is going to be more yellow then red or blue
