OpenStudy (michele_laino):
do you know how to calculate that probability?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please?

please you have 4 blue Marbles and in total there are 2+3+4 =9 Marbles, so your probability is:
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
is it clear, please?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what do I do after that
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
next, please calculate the probability to have red marbles, doing the same as before, like blue marbles
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
probability is:
\[\frac{ ? }{ 9 }\]
complete, please

3/9
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
perfect, and their sum is?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }+\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }=...\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7/9
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
well done! then your probability is:
\[1-(\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 9 })=1-\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }\]

because sum of probability to have red+probability to have blue+probability to have black must be equals to 1

Thank you!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
Thank you!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
Sorry @CaseyCarns your answer is 7/9,
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
2/9 is the probability to have black marbles
