Answer:


\sf c) \quad (10)/(19)

Explanation:

Given information

  • 9 green marbles
  • 10 purple marbles
  • Total marbles = 10 + 9 = 19


\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = (Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur)/(Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes)


\implies \textsf{P(purple marble)}= \sf (10)/(19)
