You can put this solution on YOUR website! A bag of 10 marbles contains 3 red marbles and 7 blue marbles. If two marbles are selected at random, what is the probability that at least one marble is blue?
------
P(at least one blue) = 1 - P(no blue)
-------
= 1 - [3C2/10C2]
----
= 1 - 3/45
-----
= 1 - (1/15)
----
= 14/15
