A jar contains 2 red, 3 green, and 6 blue marbles. In a game player closes their eyes, reaches into the jar and randomly chooses two marbles. The player wins the game if at least one of their marbles is red. Suppose it cost $1 to play the game and the winning prize is $3. Mathematically analyze this game and determine if it is in your financial interest to play the game.
