Question

Use the information below to answer 1–3.

Three students are playing a video game. Each player is randomly
assigned a character from a collection of characters that includes
5 blue, 6 green, and 3 red characters. After each character is picked,
it is not replaced in the collection.
1. What is the probability that the first player does not get a blue character?

Answer 1

The probability the 1st player does not get a blue chracter is 9/14.

Explanation:

So there is a total of 14 characters.

9 of them are not blue

9/14 = .642857 (~64%, not the answer since it's not asking for percents)

The probability the 1st player does not get a blue chracter is 9/14.
