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 yellow marble. We can do so by calculating the number of yellow marbles on the diagram!
We can see on the diagram that there is 1 yellow marble. This means that we can choose yellow in 1 way.
We want to find the favorable outcomes of choosing yellow. We can recall that the outcomes of a specific event, in this case choosing yellow, are called favorable outcomes. We can determine the favorable outcomes using our diagram!
The favorable outcomes include choosing the 1 yellow marble from the bag. We can use this information to list the favorable outcomes!
