2. A box contains 7 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, and 4 white marbles. If a marble
is picked at random, what is the probability that it is blue marbles?​


Sagot :

Answer:

P(blue marbles)= [tex]\frac{7}{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

P(event)= number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes

  • There are 17 marbles in total so that is what we will put on the number of possible outcomes
  • There are 7 blue marbles, and since it asks the probability of picking the blue marbles, we will put the 7 on the number of favorable outcomes
