Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking for the probability of just picking a blue bead
It does NOT say anything about picking a smooth or rough!
This means you don't have to worry about it being smooth or rough (it is just extra information to throw you off)
So to find just picking one blue bead, you want to have the amount of blue beads divided by the total amount of beads
the amount of blue beads is 13
and the total is 52
So:
13/52 is your probability, but you want to simplify
Which comes out to
1/4
