Answer 1

0.60

Explanation:

Probability is defined as the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. IT is expreesed as shown;

Probability = Expected outcome of event/total outcome of event

If a bag contains 20 total marbles, then the total outcome of event is 20.

If 12 blue marbles are selected from the bag, the expected outcome of event will be 12.

Probability of drawing a blue marble P(draw a blue marble)= 12/20

= 0.60 (to 2dp)
