A bag has 5 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 3 green marbles. You draw one marble at random. What is the probability it is NOT blue? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
📘 Worked solution
1Total marbles: 5 + 5 + 3 = 13The total is every marble that could be drawn.
2Marbles that are NOT blue: 13 - 5 = 8The complement counts every outcome except blue.
3P = 813 = 813Probability is favourable outcomes over total outcomes, reduced to lowest terms.
