Solution

Given that;

There are 6 red marbles and 10 white marbles

Total marbles is

[tex]6+10=16\text{ marbles}[/tex]

To find the probability of randomly choosing a marble, the formula is

[tex]Probability=\frac{Required\text{ outcome}}{Total\text{ possible outcome}}[/tex]

Let the probability of randomly choosing a white marble be represented by P(W)

Where the

[tex]\begin{gathered} Required\text{ outcome}=10 \\ Total\text{ possible outcome}=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The probability of randomly choosing a white marble, P(W) is

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(W)=\frac{10}{16}=\frac{5}{8} \\ P(W)=\frac{5}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of randomly choosing a white marble, P(W) is 5/8
