Question

Joseph has a bag filled with 2 red, 4 green, 10 yellow, and 9 purple marbles. Determine P(not yellow) when choosing one marble from the bag.

8%
24%
40%
60%

Answer 1

10 + 9 + 2 + 4 = 25 possible outcomes
25 - 10 = 15 outcomes that aren’t yellow
15/25 chance that you don’t choose yellow
3/5 = 60%

Answer 2

40% because it’s 9 purple so it’s accurate to choose that color
