Question

A bag has 1 striped, 4 red, 6 blue, and 3 yellow marbles. A student randomly draws a marble from the bag. What is the probability of drawing a blue marble?

1:14
3:14
3:7

1:4

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a blue marble from the bag is 3/7 after simplifying the fraction 6/14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the probability of drawing a blue marble from a bag containing a total of 14 marbles with varying colors. To find the probability, you divide the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles. So, the probability is calculated as follows:

Number of blue marbles = 6
Total number of marbles = 1 (striped) + 4 (red) + 6 (blue) + 3 (yellow) = 14

Probability of drawing a blue marble = Number of blue marbles / Total number of marbles = 6/14

This can be simplified to 3/7.
