Answer:

33.33% probability that the chosen marble is a red marble

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

There are 4+6+2 = 12 marbles, four of which are red.

4/12 = 0.3333

33.33% probability that the chosen marble is a red marble
