What is the probability that the marble taken out wil be
(i) red?

Total number of marbles = 5 + 8 + 4 = 17
Number of red marbles = 5
Probability of getting a red marble = `"Number of favourable outcomes "/"Total number of outcomes "` = `5/17`

Sunita choose a card from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Let F be the event that the choosen card is an eight of the spade.
