Athena is going to draw one marble from a paper sack. Inside the sack, there are 6 blue marbles, 6 black marbles, 3 green marbles, and 2 purple marble. What is the complement to the probability that she will draw a purple marble? A 16/17 B 15/17 C 13/17 D 2/7

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. 2/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the marbles: 6 blue marbles + 6 black marbles + 3 green marbles + 2 purple marbles = 17 marbles altogether.

Since there are 2 purple marbles out of 17 marbles in the paper sack, the complement to the probability that she will draw a purple marble is 2/17.
