What is the probability of an event?

The probability of an event is the possibility, chance, or likelihood for an event to take place or occur.

From the given information:
Let us find the probability that if marble is drawn at random from the jar, the given marble will be red:

The total number of marble = 10 + 2 = 12 marbles.

  • There are 2 red marbles and 10 blue marbles

The probability that the randomly chosen marble will be red is:

P(red) = 2/12

P(red) = 1/6

P(red) = 0.1667
