Question

a drawer contains colored pieces of candy none of the candles are green for the candies are blue eight of the candies are red and two of the candies alright each candy is uniform in size and has an equal chance of being picked from the drawer what is the probability that you will not pick a red marble drive to three decimal places

Answer 1

Since the jar contains a total of 23 candies and 8 of them are red. The probability of not getting a red candy is:

`P=(23-8)/(23)=(15)/(23)=0.652`

Therefore the answer is 0.652
