Answer:

[tex]P(blue)=37.5\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

-The total number of events is:

[tex]Total=3+6+5+2\\\\=16[/tex]

-The total number of blue events is:

[tex]Blue=6[/tex]

#Probability of a blue is thus calculated as:

[tex]P(Blue)=\frac{Blue}{Total}\\\\=\frac{6}{16}\\\\=0.375\\\\=37.5\%[/tex]

Hence, the probability of choosing a blue marble at random is 37.5%

Answer:

b. The probability of choosing a blue marble is blue/total.The number of blue marbles is 6, and the total number of marbles is 16 (3 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 16).Therefore, the probability of choosing a blue marble is 16/16 = 3/8.

Thank you
