i got 2/9 is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (ammarah):

how about for chosing a red or a blue marble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there are 27 total marbles. just divide the number of marbles in question by the total number of marbles to get the probability.

OpenStudy (ammarah):

is it just 12/27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can simplify if you want by dividing out the 3 and you get 4/9
