Given the statement:

A bag contains 9 marbles, of which 3 are red and 6 are blue. players 1 and 2 take turns drawing marbles from the bag without replacement until a red marble is drawn

Solution:

We can determine the probability of drawing the red marble, by dividing the total number of red marbles by the total number of marbles.

= 3/9

= 0.3333

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= (0.3333)(100)

= 33.33%

Final answer:

= 33.33%
