Answer 1

Buddy your wrong

Answer 2

The complement of not picking a pink marble would be picking any marble that is not pink.

Total marbles = 9 pink + 5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white = 30 marbles

Probability of picking a pink marble = 9 pink / 30 total = 3/10

Therefore, the complement of not picking a pink marble = 1 - 3/10 = 7/10

So, the correct response is: 710

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous responses. I miscalculated the complement of not picking a pink marble. Let me rectify that:

Total number of marbles = 9 pink + 5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white = 30 marbles

Since we are looking for the complement of not picking a pink marble, we want to find the probability of picking a marble that is not pink.

Probability of picking a non-pink marble = (5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white) / 30 total = 21 / 30 = 7 / 10

Therefore, the complement of not picking a pink marble is 7/10.

I appreciate your patience and thank you for pointing out the error.
