A bag contains red yellow and green pegs. A peg is taken out at random from the bag. The probability that it is red is 0.35 the probability that it is green is 0.4. find the peg selected is yellow not red

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event.

The probability of selecting a yellow and not a red peg is: 0.1625

The probabilities are given as:

The probability of selecting yellow is calculated as follows:

Substitute known values

Subtract 0.75 from both sides

The probability of selecting a yellow and not a red peg is:

Using the complement rule, we have:

Substitute known values

Hence, the probability of selecting a yellow and not a red peg is: 0.1625
