Question

A toy manufacturer produces the same toy in 4 different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. The toy manufacturer has 5 production lines dedicated to the red version, 5 production lines dedicated to the blue version, 4 production lines dedicated to the green version, and 2 production lines dedicated to the yellow version. A toy has an equal chance of traveling down any production line. What is the probability that the toy will not be green?

Answer 1

The correct answer:

What you do is:

5+5+4+2 which gives you 16

And 12 that are not green,

So,


`(12)/(16) = (3)/(4)`

A toy has an equal chance of traveling down any production line. " makes no sense to me
