Question

A bag has 5 white marbles, 8 red marbles and 4 purple marbles. If we take a marble randomly, then what is the probability of not getting purple marble?​

Answer 1

Answer:

not likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Bag has 5 red, 8 white and 4 purple marbles.

The probability that the marble taken out will be red is

$\frac{no. \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{total \: no. \: of \: possible \: outcomes}$

=>

$\frac{5}{5 + 8 + 4}$

=

$0.29$

The probability that the marble taken out will be white is

$\frac{no. \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{total \: no. \: of \: possible \: outcomes}$

=>

$\frac{8}{5 + 8 + 4}$

=

$0.47$

The probability that the marble taken out will be purple is

$\frac{no. \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{total \: no. \: of \: possible \: outcomes}$

=>

$\frac{4}{5 + 8 + 4}$

=

$0.76$
