Yuto has a bag containing 3 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, 2 green marbles, and 8 yellow marbles. rin reaches into the bag, pulls out a blue marble, and puts it in her pocket. then misaki reaches in and pulls out a marble. what is the total number of possible outcomes for misaki’s marble?

Total number of possible outcomes for Misaki's marble = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 3

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of green marbles = 2

Number of yellow marbles = 8

Total number of marbles in the bag = 18

Now, Rin draws a blue marble

So, Number of blue marbles left = 4

And, total number of marbles left = 17 because 1 marble is drawn and was put in the pocket of Rin

So, Total number of possible outcomes for Misaki's marble = 17
