Explanation:

Problem 8

Step1: Identify missing info

No data on marble counts provided.

Step2: Evaluate comparability

Cannot calculate either probability.

Step1: Count odd numbers in set

Odd numbers: 1, 3 (total 2)
Total numbers: 3
$P(\text{odd}) = \frac{2}{3}$

Step2: Count even numbers in set

Even number: 2 (total 1)
Total numbers: 3
$P(\text{even}) = \frac{1}{3}$

Step3: Compare the two probabilities

$\frac{2}{3} > \frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

[D] The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
