A gumball machine contains 56 gumballs. Some are
purple and the rest are yellow. There are 6 times as many purple
gumballs as yellow. Because the purple gumballs are slightly
smaller than the yellow, each purple gumball is 3 times as likely
to be dispensed as each yellow gumball.
An experiment consists of the machine dispensing one gumball. Let
each gumball be considered one outcome.
What weight should be assigned to each yellow ball?
What is the probability of the event that a yellow gumball is
dispensed?
