I am not sure but I think the probability of a circle being chosen first is 4/13

because 13 is the amount of shapes in total, and 4 is the amount of circles. I hope you found this helpful.

Answer:

The answer is
(4)/(13).

Explanation:

There are five squares, two triangles, two ovals, and four circles.

So, total shapes are =
5+2+2+4=13

The probability that the first chosen shape will be a circle is given by :


(possible outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

=
(4)/(13)

Note: 4 because any 1 out of 4 can be selected.
