Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of marbles

The bag has 4 red, 3 blue, and 3 yellow marbles. So total marbles = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10.

Step2: Find P(blue)

Probability of blue is number of blue marbles divided by total marbles. So P(blue) = 3 / 10.

Step3: Identify number of red marbles

Given, number of red marbles is 4.

Step4: Identify number of blue marbles

Given, number of blue marbles is 3.

Step5: Find P(red)

Probability of red is number of red marbles divided by total marbles. So P(red) = 4 / 10 = 2 / 5.

Answer:

• P(blue) : 3/10
• Total number of marbles : 10
• Number of red marbles : 4
• Number of blue marbles : 3
• P(red) : 2/5
