Answer:

Explanation:

Probability of drawing a blue marble

= Number of blue Marble/ Total number of marble

= 5 / 4 + 5 + 6

= 5 / 15

= 1/3

Probability of taking another blue marble without replacing the first one

= Number of blue marble - 1 / Total number of marble - 1

= 5 - 1 / 15 - 1

= 4 / 14

= 2/7
