Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

A container has 5 green, 4 yellow and 2 white marbles.

We need to find the probability of selecting a green marble.

The probability of getting an event is given by :

P(E) = favorable outcomes/no. of outcomes

The probability of getting green marble will be :

[tex]P(G) = \dfrac{5}{5+4+2}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{11}[/tex]

The probability of getting white marble will be :

[tex]P(W) = \dfrac{2}{5+4+2}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{11}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
