Given a sample and required to get the probability of a particular outcome, we make a couple of considerations including:
- Sample Space: The universal set
- Required Outcome
We can identify these variables as:
Sample space: total number of marbles = 7
Required outcome: Not blue = 7 - 2 = 5
Probability is given as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\text{ }\frac{\text{number of required outcome}}{Sample\text{ space}}=\frac{5}{7} \\ P=\frac{5}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]
