Answer:
The probability that George will draw a blue marble is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A container that contains 6 red, 4 blue, 3 yellow and 5 green marbles.
To find : The probability that George will draw a blue marble from a container?
Solution :
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}[/tex]
A container that contains 6 red, 4 blue, 3 yellow and 5 green marbles.
George will draw a blue marble.
Favorable outcome (blue marble was drawn) = 4
Total number of outcome = 6+4+3+5=18
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{4}{18}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, The probability that George will draw a blue marble is
[tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
