How do i solve a problem like this?
I took a study guide and i messed up on some problems so can i get some help on a few that i missed so i can know how to complete them??
A problem like this???
whoops here it is
from a barrel of colored marbles,you randomly select 6 blue,4 yellow,2 red,3 green,and 5 purple marbles.Find the experimental probability of randomly selecting a marble that is not yellow. A.2/9 B.4/5 C.6/9 D.10/19
What do you think?
the probability of selecting a yellow is 4/20 because there were four yellow out of 20 draws. However, to get the probability of NOT selecting a yellow, it is all the other draws that total 16 out of 20. so 16/20 which reduces to 4/5 which is .8 probability of selecting a marble that is not yellow. hope this helps.
