EXPLANATION

Given the facts:

Blue marble = 8

Yellow = 2

Green = 10

Red=4

The probability of choosing a blue marble without a replacement will be given by the formula:

P(x) = Number of incomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Replacing terms:

P (blue) = 8 / (8+2+10+4) = 8/24

The answer is A. 8/24
