Answer:
a) There are 25 pencils of other colour in the bag.
b) P(Blue) = 3/7
Explanation:
A bag contains 70 pencils out of which 15 are green and 30 are blue.
a) How many pencils of other colour are in the bag?
This is calculated as:
70 - (15 + 30)
= 70 - 45
= 25 pencils
Hence, there are 25 pencils of other colour in the bag.
b) A pencil is selected from a bag at random .What is the probability that it is blue?
P(Blue) = Number of Blue pencils/Total number of Pencils
P(Blue) = 30/70
P(Blue) = 3/7
