Answer:
[tex]\frac{129}{139}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
In the bag,
Red candies = 42,
Green candies = 45,
Yellow candies = 20,
Purple candies = 32,
So, the total candies = 42+45+20+32=139
⇒ The probability of purple candies = [tex]\frac{32}{139}[/tex]
Also, the probability of red candies = [tex]\frac{42}{139}[/tex]
⇒ The probability that candy is not red = 1 - the probability of red candies
[tex]=1-\frac{42}{139}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{139-42}{139}=\frac{97}{139}[/tex]
Hence, the probability that it is purple or not red is,
P (purple or not red) = The probability of purple candies + The probability that candy is not red
[tex]=\frac{32}{139}+\frac{97}{139}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{129}{139}[/tex]
Answer:97/139
Step-by-step explanation:
