2/3 is the probability that a marble drawn at random is not red.

Answer:

Probability that a marble drawn at random is not red = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A jar contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 2 white marbles.

To find  : What is the probability that a marble drawn at random is not red.

Solution : We have given that

Red marbles = 3.

White marbles = 2.

Blue marbles = 4

Total marbles = 9

Marbles that are not red = white + blue =2+4 = 6.

Probability that a marble drawn at random is not red = [tex]\frac{Number\ of\ marbles\ not\ red}{Total\ that\  number\ of\ marbles}[/tex].

Probability that a marble drawn at random is not red = [tex]\frac{6}{9}[/tex].

Probability that a marble drawn at random is not red = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

Therefore, Probability that a marble drawn at random is not red = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
