Answer:

There is a 9/10 probability that the marble will not be yellow.

Explanation:

If there are a total of ten marbles, and there is one yellow marble, there is a

1 yellow marble / 10 total marbles chance of getting a yellow marble. Then subtract it from 10/10 to get the probability of NOT getting a yellow marble.

10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10.
