Question

a bag contains 5 red marbles, 3 green marbles, 2 purple marbles, 2 orange marbles, and 1 blue marble. which color marble is less likely to be picked than purple?
○ blue
○ orange
○ green

Explanation:

1. First, find the number of each color marble:

• Red: 5, Green: 3, Purple: 2, Orange: 2, Blue: 1.

1. Then, compare the number of blue marbles (1) with purple marbles (2). Since 1 < 2, the probability of picking a blue marble is less than that of picking a purple marble. The number of orange marbles (2) is equal to purple, and green (3) is more than purple, so blue is the answer.

Answer:

blue
