Question

what is the p (not purple) on this spinner?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the probability of purple

Assume the probability of purple is \( P(\text{purple})=\frac{1}{5}\) (from the given values).

Step2: Use the formula \(P(\text{not }A)=1 - P(A)\)

Here \(A\) is the event of getting purple. So \(P(\text{not purple})=1 - P(\text{purple})\).
Substitute \(P(\text{purple})=\frac{1}{5}\) into the formula: \(P(\text{not purple})=1-\frac{1}{5}\).
Calculate \(1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5 - 1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{5}\)
