Probability that candy picked is purple or not red is [tex]\frac{32}{151}[/tex].
What is probability?
The probability of an event can be calculated by probability formula by simply dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. The value of the probability of an event to happen can lie between 0 and 1 because the favorable number of outcomes can never cross the total number of outcomes. Also, the favorable number of outcomes cannot be negative.
According to the question
A bag contains 42 red, 45 green, 20 yellow, and 32 purple candies.
You pick one candy at random.
We have to find probability that it is purple or not red.
Formula for probability:
[tex]P(E) = \frac{Number \ of \ favorable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ favorable \ outcomes}[/tex]
Total number of favorable outcomes = [tex]42+45+20+32 =151[/tex]
Number of favorable outcomes = 32
Probability that it is purple or not red.
[tex]P(E)=\frac{32}{151}[/tex]
Hence, Probability that candy it is purple or not red is [tex]\frac{32}{151}[/tex].
