Question

A bag contains circular chips that are the same size and weight. There are 8 purple, 4 pink, 8 white, and 2 blue chips in the bag. The probability of drawing a pink chip is 2/11. What is the probability of not drawing a pink chip?

Answer 1

`(9)/(11)`

Explanation:

To calculate probability, divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes. In this example. there are 18 events (18 chips that aren't pink) and 22 outcomes (22 total chips). That means the probability is
`(18)/(22)` for not drawing a pink chip. Simplifying that gives you
`(9)/(11)`

Answer 2

9/11

Explanation:

all the chips other than a pink chip add up to 9.
