The probability that he will get a blue pen, and he will not get a yellow highlighter is 15/52 option fourth is correct.
What is probability?
It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.
We have:
Eli has 8 black pens and 5 in his desk drawer. He also has 3 yellow highlighters, 4 green highlighters, and 5 pink highlighters in his pencil case.
Total pens = 8+5 = 13
The probability of choosing the blue pen = 5/13
Total highlighter = 3+4+5 = 12
The probability of choosing yellow highlighter = 3/12 = 1/4
The probability of not choosing yellow highlighter = 1 - (1/4) = 3/4
The probability that he will get a blue pen, and he will not get a yellow highlighter:
= (5/13)(3/4)
= 15/52
Thus, the probability that he will get a blue pen, and he will not get a yellow highlighter is 15/52 option fourth is correct.
