Please select the best answer from the choices provided
B

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

Favorable outcomes = we want to find the probability of pulling a blue marble. There are 3 blue marbles so 3 is the number of favorable outcomes

Possible outcomes: to find the number of possible outcomes we simply find the total number of marbles

3 + 7 + 4 which equals 14

So possible outcomes = 14

We now plug in the values into the probability formula

The probability of pulling a blue marble is 3/14

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

you add the red marbles, blue marbles, and green marbles together, which equal 14. Out of the 14, there are only 3 blue marbles so it would be 3/14.
