Accepted Solution

A:
The probability of picking a second black marble is : (A). [tex]\frac{4}{13}[/tex]Meaning of probability and full workingProbability is the degree of occurrence of an event. it can also be said to be the chance for an event to occur.Probability helps us know the chance an event has to occur. The closer it gets to zero(0) the less chance it has to occur. The closer it gets to one(1) the more chance it has to occur.In conclusion,  The probability of picking a second black marble is : (A).
