Total number of possible outcomes, n(S) = 5 + 8 + 4 = 17
(i) Number of favorable outcomes,
n(E) = 5
∴ P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{5}{17}\)
(ii) Number of favorable outcomes,
n(E) = 8
∴ P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{8}{17}\)
(iii) Number of events of drawing a green marble = 4
∴ P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{4}{17}\)
Probability of not drawing green marble = 1 – P(E)
= 1 - \(\frac{4}{17}\) = \(\frac{13}{17}\)
