Question

Philip has a box of crayons. 45 are yellow, 12 are green, 25 are blue, and 8

are red. If Philip selects a crayon at random, what is the probability of not
picking a green? *
a. 1/2
b. 5/18
c. 2/15
d. 13/15

Answer 1

option d

Explanation:

First we find the probability of getting green, then we can subtract the result from 1 to find the probability of not getting the green crayon

P( green )

`(12)/(45+12+25+8) \\= (2)/(15)`

P '(green) = 1 - 2/15

= 13/15
