Answer:

The probability that the selected marble is small or green is 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the selected marble is small or green is:

the probability that it is small plus the probability that it is green, minus the probabililty that it is small and green

Probability that it is small is:

12/(12+14)

= 12/26

= 6/13

Probability that it is green is:

(10+7)/26

= 17/26

Probability that it is small and green is:

(12 - 5)/12

= 7/12

The probability that the selected marble is small or green is:

6/13 + 17/26 - 7/12

= 0.53
