Question

Help!! There is a jar of marbles on the counter containing the following colors. 22 yellow, 11 green, 27 blue, 39 red Assume you grab a marble at random. What is the probability that it will not be red.

A. 2/9

B. 20/33

C. 13/33

D. 1/9

Answer 1

C. 20/33

Explanation:

you add all the marbles 22+11+27+39=99

and there are 39 red marbles so the probability of not picking a red marble will be to add everything except the red marbles and that is 22+11+27=60/99and cut to the lowest term is 20/33
