If a gumball machine is half full?!
Question: If a gumball machine is half full!?
and say it comes in 6 different colors-pink, white, red, green, yellow, blue!.!.!.!.What are your chances at getting a white!.!.would it be 1/6!.!.or would you actually have to count the gumballs and get an estimate that wayWww@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
it is 1/6 only when the colors are even
so if you have
3 pink
2 white
1 red
4 green
2 yellow
2 blue
you add all 3 + 2 + 1+ 4 + 2 + 2 = 14
you have 2 white so 2 out of 14 = 2/14 = 1/7
see!? the chance becomes 1/7 insteadWww@Enter-QA@Com
