Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability that the marble drawn is not blue is the total number of marbles minus the blue marbles, divided by the total number of marbles. There are 26 marbles in total and 3 are blue, so there are 26 - 3 = 23 marbles that are not blue. Therefore, the probability is $\frac{23}{26}$.
