Respuesta :

Answer:

Ajar has 6 marbles and 2 marbles. the probability of selecting a red marble is 2/6, or 1/3 when simplified

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of marbles: 2 + 3 + 1 = 6

number of red marbles = 2

The probability of an event is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
