00:01 Hi, in this question we have been given the number of blue marble is 10 number of white marble is 7 and of red marble is 6 and of green marble is 2.
00:13 Then we need to find the probability of getting blue marble.
00:20 So here total number of marble is equal to this is 10 plus 7 plus 6.
00:34 Plus 2 that is equal to 25 and the number of blue marble is given as 10 so probability of getting blue marble is equal to number of blue marble divided by total number of marble the blue marble is 10 and the total number of marble is 25...
