please, write the probability that Marble is blue

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

do you know how to calculate that probability?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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: \[1-(\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 9 })=1-\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
