Question

A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and others are blue If
a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it
is green is Find the
number of blue balls in the jar

Gopal Mohanty · Accepted Answer

Total number of marbles = 24 Let the total number of green marbles be x Then, total number of blue marbles = 24 − x P (getting a given marble)

According to the condition given in the question,

Therefore, total number of green marbles in the jar = 16 Hence, total number of blue marbles = 24 − x = 24 − 16 = 8

A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is. Find the number of blue balls in the jar.
