Answer 1

Answer:

P (not drawing a black marble) =  4/5

P (red marble) = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles is

5 blue marbles +2 black marbles+ 3 red marbles = 10 marbles

P (not drawing a black marble) =

The marbles that are not black/ total marbles

(blue + red)/ total

(5+3)/10

8/10

4/5

P (red marble) =   red marble/ total

                         = 3/10
