Answer:

7 : 4 is the answer.

Explanation:

A bag contains 7 green marbles and 4 white marbles.

bag contains total marbles = 7 + 4 = 11 marbles

you select a marble at random.

The probability is 7/11 to select green marble, but the odds are 7:4.

odds are different than probability that is favorable : unfavorable

That is 7 chances for and 4 against.

so the answer would be 7 : 4.
