Answer: 7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of Blue marbles = 7

Number of red marbles = 9

Probability that marble removed is blue :

Probability = ( number required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

Total possible outcomes = total number of marbles = 7 + 9 = 16

Required outcome = number of blue marbles = 7

P(blue marble is removed) = 7 / 16
