A bag has only r red marbles and b blue marbles. If five red marbles and one blue marble are added to the bag, and if one marble is then selected at random from the bag, then the probability that the marble selected will be blue is represented by


A. b/r

B. b/(b + r)

C. (b + 1)/(r + 5)

D. (b + 1)/(r + b + 5)

E. (b + 1)/(r + b + 6)


After 5 red marbles and 1 blue marble are added to the bag, the bag has b + 1 blue marbles and r + b + 5 + 1 = r + b + 6 total marbles. So the probability of selecting a blue marble is (b + 1)/(b + r + 6).

Answer: E
