ANSWER

9/25

EXPLANATION

The experimental probability is:

[tex]P(event)=\frac{\text{ number of times the even occurs}}{\text{ total number of trials}}[/tex]

The total number of trials for this experiment is the sum of the frequencies of the table:

[tex]19+13+18=50[/tex]

The number of times Jerome got a blue marble is 18.

Let 'B' be the event where Jerome draw a blue marble out of the jar:

[tex]P(B)=\frac{18}{50}[/tex]

We can simplify this fraction, so the experimental probability of drawing a blue marble is:

[tex]P(B)=\frac{9}{25}[/tex]
