ANSWER

[tex]\frac{2}{17}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Given;

[tex]\begin{gathered} n(Red)=2 \\ n(white)=3 \\ n(blue)=5 \\ n(green)=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The total number of marble is;

[tex]n(Total)=2+3+5+7=17[/tex]

Recall, the probability of an event can be calculated by simply dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of the possible outcome

Hence, the probability of selecting a red marble is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} Prob(Red)=\frac{n(Red)}{n(Total)} \\ =\frac{2}{17} \end{gathered}[/tex]
