To find the probability that Serenity picks up the blue marker, we first need to count the total number of markers she has.
From the information provided, the markers are:
1. Green
2. Red
3. Black
4. Blue
5. Yellow
6. Indigo
7. Orange
8. Violet
This gives us a total of **8 markers**.
Since there is **1 blue marker** among the 8 markers, the probability of picking up the blue marker is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{1}{8}
\]
Thus, the probability that Serenity will pick up the blue marker is \(\frac{1}{8}\).
