Step-by-step explanation:

Given [Missing Information]

[tex]Red = 12[/tex]

[tex]Blue = 10[/tex]

[tex]Green = 15[/tex]

[tex]Yellow = 13[/tex]

Way 1:

Add up the total marbles that are not red.

[tex]Not\ Red = Blue + Green + Yellow[/tex]

[tex]Not\ Red = 10 + 15 + 13[/tex]

[tex]Not\ Red = 38[/tex]

Divide by total marbles to get the probability;

[tex]Probability = \frac{Npt\ Red}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{38}{38 + 12}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{38}{50}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.76[/tex]

Way 2:

Calculate the probability of choosing red

[tex]P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = \frac{12}{50}[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = 0.24[/tex]

Apply complement rule (i.e. subtract it from 1)

[tex]P(Not\ Red) = 1 - P(Red)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Red) = 1 - 0.24[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Red) = 0.76[/tex]
