Question 325926: Can anyone help me with this probability question? You have 16 marbles; 4 red, 7 white and 5 blue. If one is drawn at random, find the probability that
a) a blue marble is drawn
b) a red or a blue marble is drawn
c) neither a red nor a blue marble is drawn
Any help would be appreciated! Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) P(B)=5/16
b) P(R)=4/16
P(B)=5/16
P(R or B)=P(R)+P(B)=4/16+5/16=9/16
c) Neither red nor blue means white.
P(not R or B)=P(W)=7/16
