Complete question :

From a barrel of colored marbles, you randomly select 1 blue 6 yellow 7 red 4 green and 6 purple marbles. Find the experimental probability of randomly selecting a marble that is NOT yellow.

Answer:

Explanation:

Total number of marbles :

Blue = 1 ; yellow = 6 ; red = 7 ; green = 4 ; purple = 6

Total = (1 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 6) = 24 marbles

Probability of selecting marble that is not yellow :

Number of marbles that aren't yellow / total number of marbles

Marbles that aren't yellow = 24 - 6 = 18

P(selecting a marble that isn't yellow) = 18 / 24 = 3/4
