Answer:

he probability of Violeta pulling out a green marble is 0.3 or 30%.

Explanation:

he probability of pulling out a green marble is the number of green marbles divided by the total number of marbles in the bag:

P(green marble) = number of green marbles / total number of marbles

In this case, there are 6 green marbles and 14 pink marbles, so the total number of marbles is:

total number of marbles = 6 + 14 = 20

Therefore, the probability of pulling out a green marble is:

P(green marble) = 6 / 20 = 3/10 = 0.3

So the probability of Violeta pulling out a green marble is 0.3 or 30%.
