Answer:


(1)/(5) or 20%

Explanation:

Probability is expressed as a fraction where the numerator is the number of desired outcomes and the denominator is the total number of outcomes. Since there are 10 total marbles and 2 of them are blue, the probability of randomly selecting a blue marble is:


(blue)/(marbles)=(2)/(10)=(1)/(5)

or 20%
