You can find the answer using the formula:
P ( E ) = m ( E ) m ( S ) , where P(E) is the probability of anevent E.
There are a total of 13 marbles, out of which 6 are red. Wehave to find the probability of selecting a red marble.
P ( R ) = 6 13
Divide and you will find that the probability of randomlypicking a red marble is appoximately 0.46.
