A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

A class plays three chance games. 1) A spinner is divided into 5 equal sections numbered 1‑5. What is the probability it lands on a prime number? 2) A bag contains 4 green, 2 yellow, and 4 red marbles. What is the probability of drawing a green marble? 3) A standard die is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4? If the three games are played independently, what is the probability that all three events happen together?

Question 2 of 3

Bag A contains 2 blue marbles and 3 red marbles. Bag B contains 5 blue marbles and 5 red marbles. A bag is selected at random, and then one marble is drawn from the chosen bag. What is the probability that the drawn marble is blue? Express your answer as a simplified fraction.

Question 3 of 3

A bag contains 3 blue marbles and 7 red marbles. If one marble is drawn at random, what is the probability that the marble is blue?
