Responses
A 0.1390.139
B 0.220.22
C 0.250.25
D 0.9
The expected probability of randomly selecting a black marble can be calculated by dividing the number of times a black marble was selected (9) by the total number of selections (36).
Probability = 9/36 = 0.25
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C) 0.25
