Question

From a barrel of colored marbles you randomly select 7 blue, 5 yellow, 8 red, 4 green, and 6 purple marbles. Find the experimental probability of randomly selecting a marble that is NOT yellow. Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

In total there are 7+5+8+4+6=30 marbles. you need to take out the yellow marbles that you counted into the total of 30 marbles which would be 25 marble. this means that there are 25 out of 30 marble you can select that is not yellow. which gives you the probability of 25/30 simplify it to get 5/6
