Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf P(green )=\frac{3 }{8}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability tells us how likely something is to happen. It's found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total outcomes.
[tex]P=\frac{number \ of \ favorable \ outcomes}{total \ outcomes}[/tex]
Since we are trying to find the probability of selecting a green marble, that is the favorable outcome. There are 3 green marbles, so there are 3 favorable outcomes.
There are 5 red marbles in addition to the 3 green marbles. This means there are 8 total outcomes (5+3=8).
- favorable outcomes = 3
- total outcomes =8
[tex]P(green )=\frac{3 }{8}[/tex]
This fraction cannot be simplified further, so it is the answer.
The probability of selecting a green marble is 3/8
