Question

Charleston's mom has a basket of nail polish containing 7 bottles of

pink, 2 purple, 1 red, 1 black, 1 white, and 3 glitter. If Charleston reaches
into the basket and pulls out a random bottle of nail polish, what is the
probability it will not be pink or purple? *

Answer 1

Explanation:

total number of nail polish = 15

number of pink nail polish= 7

number of purple nail polish = 2

so 7+2 = 9

15-9 = 6

so probability( of not getting pink or purple nail polish ) = favourable outcomes/ total outcomes

= 6/15
