The probability  of picking a  blue counter  from the bag is  1 / 13.     What is the probability?  The number of counters initially in the bag:     white counters  = 26 - 10 - 5 = 11    pink counter s = 5    blue counters  = 10      The number of counters now in the bag:    white counters  = 11   pink counter s = (5 + x) / 26 = 1/2    13/26   x = 13 - 5 = 8     blue counters  = 26 - 13 - 11 = 2      Probability  of picking a  blue counter   = number of blue counters / total number of counters   2/26 =  1 / 13       To learn more about  probability,  please check: https://brainly.com/question/13234031  #SPJ1
