Question

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the bag.

What is the probability that the marble drawn will not be blue?

A.) 29
B.) 34
C.) 79
D.) 78

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

I got it right and here is proof

If it is blurry, just press it and it will be non-blurry

Answer 2

Total number of marbles = 8 + 6 + 12 + 10 = 36

Number of marbles that aren't blue = 36 - 8 = 28

Hence the probability of not drawing a blue marble is
`(28)/(36)=\frac79`
