Answer 1

4/9 [Less likely]

Explanation:

2 purple

5 pink

2 blue

The total is 9.

5/9 is pink out of total (basically, the whole bag of marbles).

This is if you were picking pink.

Now, we subtract.

9 - 5 = 4 --> 4/9

The reason we do this is because we are finding the probability of not picking pink.

The end result is 4/9 because there is still 4 other marbles (other than pink) out of all 9 that we could pick.
