Problema Solution

a bag contains 2 white marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 6 red marbles. if a marble is drawn from the bag what is the probability that it is not white

Answer provided by our tutors

P(marble is not white) = 1 - P(marble is white)


P(marble is not white) = 1 - 2/(2 + 4 + 6)


P(marble is not white) = 1 - 2/12


P(marble is not white) = 1 - 1/6


P(marble is not white) = 5/6


P(marble is not white) = 0.83
