a bag with 8 marbles has 4 yellow marbles and 4 blue marbles. a marble is chosen from the bag at random. what is the probability that it is red
write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of favorable outcomes

There are 4 yellow marbles.

Step2: Determine the total number of outcomes

There are 8 marbles in total.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). So, \(P = \frac{4}{8}\).

Step4: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 4. \(\frac{4\div4}{8\div4}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
