Question

parker has a jar with 17 blue pens, 10 red pens, 4 green pens, and 15 black pens. find the probability of parker not pulling out a red pen from the jar.

\\(p(\text{not red}) = ? \\)

round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Calculate the total number of pens

$$ \text{Total} = 17 + 10 + 4 + 15 = 46 $$

Calculate the number of non-red pens

$$ \text{Not Red} = 17 + 4 + 15 = 36 $$

Calculate and round the probability

$$ P(\text{Not Red}) = \frac{36}{46} \approx 0.7826 \approx 0.78 $$

Answer:
