C) P white or blue)
D) PINOT blue

Answer 1

To calculate the probability for each event, divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability of an event, we divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. Let's analyze each event:

a) P(white): There are 3 white marbles out of 7 total marbles, so the probability is 3/7.

b) P(red or yellow): There are 3 red marbles and 0 yellow marbles out of 7 total marbles, so the probability is 3/7.

c) P(white or blue): There are 4 white marbles and 3 blue marbles out of 7 total marbles, so the probability is 7/7 or 1.

d) P(blue): There are 3 blue marbles out of 7 total marbles, so the probability is 3/7.
