C
When calculating probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability that a randomly chosen marble is red, we will use the Probability Formula.
P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible Outcomes
We know that one marble is chosen at random from the box.
In the box, there is a total of 7 blue, 6 red, 2 white, and 3 black marbles. The sum of these values is the number of possible outcomes. 7+6+2+3= 18 marbles Out of these, 6 are red, which is the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(Red marble).
Substitute values
a/b=.a /6./.b /6.
Calculate quotient
Round to 2 decimal place(s)
The probability of choosing a red marble is 13 or about 0.33. This result corresponds to answer C.
