Fowler has a collection of marbles of different sizes and colors. Big Small Red 9 9 Green 14 9 Purple 9 6 Blue 0 10 What is the probability that a randomly selected marble is not red or is not small? Simplify any fractions.

Respuesta :

From the given table, the following are observed:

No. of marbles that are not red and not small = No. of Big Green and Big Purple

= 14 + 9

= 23 Marbles

Total number of marbles = 9 + 14 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 6 + 10 = 66 Marbles

We get,

[tex]\text{ Probability of getting a marble that is not red or not small = }\frac{\text{ 23 Marbles}}{66\text{ Marbles}}[/tex][tex]\text{ = }\frac{23}{66}[/tex]

We can no longer simplify 23/66. Therefore, 23/66 is the answer.
