Respuesta :

Solution

(a) red marble?

[tex]p=\frac{\text{red}}{\text{total}}=\frac{3}{3+13+4+8}=\frac{3}{28}[/tex]

(b) green marble?

[tex]p=\frac{\text{gren}}{\text{total}}=\frac{13}{3+13+4+8}=\frac{13}{28}[/tex]

(c) blue marble?​

[tex]p=\frac{\text{blue}}{\text{total}}=\frac{4}{3+13+4+8}=\frac{4}{28}[/tex]
