A bag contains different colored balls; 7 yellow, 3 red, and 6 green. Find the probability of randomly choosing a ball that is NOT green, P(Gc)?

Answer 1

There are a total of 7 yellow balls, 3 red balls, and 6 green balls, making a total of 16 balls in the bag.

The probability of randomly choosing a green ball, P(G), can be calculated as:
P(G) = Number of green balls / Total number of balls = 6 / 16 = 3 / 8

Since we want to find the probability of NOT choosing a green ball, P(Gc) can be calculated as:
P(Gc) = 1 - P(G)
= 1 - (3/8)
= 5/8

Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a ball that is NOT green, P(Gc), is 5/8.
