Answer:
\text{P(draw an blue marble})=(12)/(20)=(3)/(5)

Explanation:

Given: The total number of marbles in a bag = 20

The number of blue marbles in the bag = 12

Then, the probability of drawing a blue marble is given by :-


\text{P(draw a blue marble)}=\frac{\text{Number of blue marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(draw an blue marble})=(12)/(20)=(3)/(5)
