You can put this solution on YOUR website!
See this video for a nice look at this type of problem. http://collabvsl.wetpaint.com/page/Basic+Probability\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, you have a total of \"5%2B3%2B1\"=\"9\" marbles.
\n" ); document.write( "The odds of drawing a blue marble are \"3%2F9\" = \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the odds of drawing a 'non-blue marble is \"1+-+%281%2F3%29\" = \"2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
