Answer» Solution: Total number of outcomes = 5 + 8 + 4 = 17 Number of red marbles = 5 Number of white marbles = 8 Number of green marbles = 4 (i) Red? Solution: Probability of red marbles; P(R) = 5/17 (ii) White? Solution: Probability of white marbles; P(W) = 8/17 (iii) Not green? Solution: Probability of green marbles; P(G) = 4/17 Or, P( not G) = 1 - 4/17 =13/17 |
