Answer:

P(green) = 2/3

P(purple) =2/9

P(orange) =1/9

12 green marbles

4 purple marbles

2 orange marbles

The sum of all probabilities is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

P(green) = 2/3

P(purple) =2/9

To find orange get a common denominator

2/3 *3/3 = 6/9

6/9+2/9 = 8/9

The remaining 1/9 are orange

P(orange) =1/9

2/3 *18 = 12  so there are 12 green marbles

2/9*18 = 4 purple marbles

1/9*18 = 2 orange marbles

The sum of all probabilities is 1
