More information is required. Probability by definition is the proportion of a part, called a sample, to the whole, called a population. Thus in this question, we are given the sample only and without the population, it is impossible to calculate the probability. We need to know the size of the population. As a guide, supposing there are 8 red marbles in a jar containing 40 marbles, then the probability of choosing red is 8/40 or 1: 0.2. There is 20 per cent probability of choosing red.
