6 What are my chances? Dr. Basta Grade 7, Module 5, Lesson 16 You have a bag with two green cubes, and you select one at random. What are the chances of selecting a green cube? You will always get a green cube if there are only green cubes in the bag. FractionDecimalPercentage 1.0100%

7 What are my chances? Dr. Basta Grade 7, Module 5, Lesson 17 You have a bag with one blue cube and one red cube and you randomly pick one. What are the chances of selecting a blue cube? You will select a blue cube one-half of the time. FractionDecimalPercentage 0.550%

8 What are my chances? Dr. Basta Grade 7, Module 5, Lesson 18 FractionDecimalPercentage If you have a bag that contains eight blue cubes and two red cubes, and you select one at random, it is unlikely that you will get a red cube. Even though it is not impossible to get a red cube, a red cube would not be selected very often because there are many more blue cubes than red cubes.

9 What are my chances? Dr. Basta Grade 7, Module 5, Lesson 19 FractionDecimalPercentage 0.5 < P(B) < 150% < P(B) < 100% If you have a bag that contains eight blue cubes and two red cubes, and you select one at random, it is likely that you will get a blue cube.
