the chances of picking a blue marble is 4/9, cause blue marble picked = number it blue marbles / total number of marbles that are in the bag which is 9

Probability of pulling out the Blue Marbels = 4/9

Explanation:

Red Marbels = 3

Blue Marbels = 4

Yellow Marbels = 2

Total Marbels = 9

P( Blue Marbels) = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes = 4/9
