Question

State whether the given statement is true or false:

A bag contains 4 red and 8 blue marbles. A marble is drawn at random. The probability of drawing red is $\frac{1}{3}.$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Number of red marbles = 4
Total number of marbles = 4 + 8 = 12
So, the probability of drawing red is,
$P=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$
