There is a bag with 6 marbles. Three marbles are blue, 2 are red and 1 is green. What is the probability that you will randomly select a red marble? A green marble? What is the likelihood of those probabilities? Mike answered: The probability of selecting a red marble is 2 and that is likely. The probability of selecting green is 1 and that is certain. If yes, explain in writing, using appropriate vocabulary, why you agree with him. If no, explain in writing what mistakes Mike has made and justify your reasoning. Be sure to give the correct answers in your justification. Is Mike correct?

Mike is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is an "out of" statement. meaning out of all 6 marbles if 2 are red how what is the probability of choosing a red marble the answer is 2 out of 6 or 1/3 or 0.3333333etc. For green the probability is 1 out of 6 or 1/6 or 0.16666666etc
