Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ \frac{2}{17}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total outcomes.
[tex]P=\frac{favorable \ outcomes}{total \ outcomes}}[/tex]
In this problem, the favorable outcome is a red marble. The total is all the marbles.
[tex]P(red)=\frac{red \ marbles}{all \ marbles}}[/tex]
- There are 2 red marbles
- To find the total number of marbles, add them up.
- 5 green + 2 red + 10 white = 17 marbles
[tex]P(red)=\frac{2}{17}[/tex]
This fraction cannot be reduced further, so it is the answer.
The probability of drawing a red marble is 2/17
