: Can someone help me please?
A jar contains 5 yellow marbles, 16 green marbles, and 8 black marbles. If one marble is selected at random, what is the probability that it is not green? (Give solution as a fraction in lowest terms.) This question is from textbook A Survey of Mathematics with Applications
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In your jar, you have a total of:
5+16+8 =29
.
Of the 29:
8+5 = 13 are NOT green
.
Therefore, the probability of NOT picking a green marble is:
13/29
