Practice makes perfect
We know that we randomly choose one marble from the bag. We want to find the number of ways in which we can choose a purple marble. We can do so by calculating the number of purple marbles on the diagram!
We can see on the diagram that there are 2 purple marbles. This means that we can choose green in 2 ways.
We want to find the favorable outcomes of choosing purple. We can recall that the outcomes of a specific event, in this case choosing purple, are called favorable outcomes. We can determine the favorable outcomes using our diagram!
The favorable outcomes include choosing one of the 2 purple marbles from the bag. We can use this information to list the favorable outcomes!
