From the Venn Diagram, there are 2 yellow marbles and there are a total of 10 marbles.

The formula for calculating the probability of an outcome is given by


P(x)=\frac{\text{Number of required outcomes}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}

Therefore, the probability of picking a yellow marble can be calculated as


P(Y)=(2)/(10)=(1)/(5)

Hence, the probability of not picking a yellow marble is given by


P(Y^(\prime))=1-(1)/(5)

Therefore,


P(Y^(\prime))=(4)/(5)
