Answer:
The probability that George will draw a blue marble is \(\frac{2}{9}\)
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 :
\(\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}\)
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
\(\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}\)
\(\text{Probability}=\frac{4}{18}\)
\(\text{Probability}=\frac{2}{9}\)
Therefore, The probability that George will draw a blue marble is
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
