Sagot :

Part A

P(white) = (3 white)/(10 total) = 3/10

Answer: 3/10

==============================================

Part B

10 total, 3 are white

10-3 = 7 are not white so they are either black or red

P(black or red) = 7/10

Answer: 7/10

==============================================

Part C

Earlier in part B we calculated 7 beads that weren't white

This means P(not white) = P(black or red) = 7/10

They are the same probability just phrased slightly different ways.

Answer: 7/10

==============================================

Part D

There aren't any blue beads (unless there's a typo somewhere). So the probability of picking not blue is 100% or we represent this as the value 1.
