A bag contains 6 marbles, of which 2 are orange.

What is the probability that a randomly selected marble will be orange?

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 6 marbles in the bag, 2 of which are orange.  To find the probability of choosing an orange marble out of the bag, we divide the number of orange marbles by the total number of marbles.  Thus, .  The probability of choosing an orange marble out of the bag is .

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of marbles : 6

Number of orange marbles : 2

Probability of selecting an orange marble

= number of orange marbles / total number of marbles

= 2 / 6

= 1/3
