Answer:

Explanation:

Problem A

There are four outcomes for the cards

and three outcomes for the marbles

The total number of outcomes is 3 * 4 = 12

Problem B

Now you need 1 in three chances of getting a blue marble while any card will do. So your chances of drawing a blue marble are 1 in 3 and that is your final outcome because the cards don't affect the outcome.

Answer: 1/3
