Explanation:

  1. Number of red = 2
  2. Number of blue = 5
  3. Number of green = 3
  • total number of marbles = 10

probability of not choosing a red marble = 1--choosing a red marble.

Because probability is always one(1).

Probability =


1 - (2)/(10)


(8)/(10)


(4)/(5)

Is the probability of not choosing a red marble.
