A certain bag contains 60 balls — 22 white, 10 green, 7 yellow, 15 red, and 6 purple. If a ball is to be chosen at random, what is the probability that the ball will be neither red nor purple?
Select the correct option:
A) 0.09
B) 0.65
C) 0.54
D) 0.85
E) 0.91
According to the stem the ball can be white, green or yellow, so the probability is (white + green + yellow)/(total) = (22 + 10 + 17)/60 = 39/60 = 0.65.   Answer: 0.65.
