Question

A marble is drawn at random from the bag shown below. The bag contains 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, and 8 pink marbles.What is P(not pink)?

Answer 1

Chance of drawing each color:

green= 3/20
yellow= 4/20
blue = 5/20
pink = 8/20

Without additional information you cant solve this question

Answer 2

Answer:
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given : The number of pink marbles in bag= 8

Total number of marbles in bag=
`4+5+8+3=20`

Now, the number of marbles that are not pink =
`20-8=12`

We know that the formula to find the probability is :-

`\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}`

Similarly,
`\text{P(not pink)}=(12)/(20)=(3)/(5)`
