A certain bag contains 100 balls â€” 10 white, 30 green, 10 yellow, 47 red, and 3 purple. If a ball is to be chosen at random, what is the probability that the ball will be neither red nor purple?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 0.9 B) 0.75 C) 0.6 D) 0.8 E) 0.5
According to the stem the ball can be white, green or yellow, so the probability is (white + green + yellow)/(total) = (10 + 30 + 10)/100 = 50/100 = 0.5.   Answer is 0.5
