Respuesta :

4+6+7= 17
6 out of 17 are blue.
6/17 is the answer as it cannot be simplified.

Answer:

6/17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability may be defined as the chance of occurring of an event.. The probability of blue marble can be obtained by the the number of the blue marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag.

Probability can be calculated by the following formula:

Probability of blue marbles= Number of blue marbles/total number of marbles.

= [tex]\frac{6}{17}[/tex]

Thus, the answer is 6/17.
