A bag contains 8 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 1 green marble. Find P(not blue). a. 9 c. One-fourth b. Four-thirds d. three-fourths

Sagot :

In order to find the probability of drawing a marble that is NOT BLUE, we must find the ratio of non-blue marbles to the total amount of marbles

Let's count how many marbles total there are first

8 red + 3 blue + 1 green = 12 marbles total

Now, how many marbles are there that ARE NOT BLUE

8 red + 1 green = 9 marbles THAT ARE NOT BLUE

Now let's create a ratio to find a probility

9/12

This can be simplified to 3/4 by taking out the common factor of 3

Your answer is D! "three-fourths"
