Given:
The spinner has 4 equal sectors colored pink, purple, blue, and green.
Required:
We need to find the probability of spinning not purple.
Explanation:
The total possible outcomes, S ={Purple, Pink, Blue, Green}
[tex]n(S)=4[/tex]
Let A be the event of spinning not purple.
The favorable outcomes, A ={Pink, Blue, Green}
[tex]n(A)=4[/tex]
The probability of spinning not purple is P(A).
[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}[/tex]
Substitute n(A)=3 and n(S)=4 in the formula.
[tex]P(A)=\frac{3}{4}=0.75[/tex][tex]P(not\text{ purple\rparen =0.75}[/tex]
Final answer:
[tex]P(not\text{ purple\rparen =0.75}[/tex]
