Answer:

a) 0.70

b) 0.30

c) 12/45 =4/15

d) 2/45

Explanation:

a) Prob of drawing a marble red or white = No of red and white marbles/total marbles

= 7/10 = 0.70

b) Prob of drawing a marble neither red nor white = 1-7/10 = 0.30

c) Prob of drawing two marble one red and one white at the same time

=
(4C1 (3C1)/(10C2 ) =(12)/(45)

d) Prob of drawing two marble one blue and orange white at the same time

=
(2C1 (1C1)/(10C2 ) =(2)/(45)
