The probability of getting not blue marble is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex].

What is probability?

Probability is a measure of happening or non-happening of the outcomes of a random experiment.

Probability formula

P(E) = number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

According to the given question.

Total number of red marbles = 5

Total number of yellow marbles = 4

Total number of green marbles = 5

Total number of blue marbles = 2

⇒ Total number of marbles = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16

So, total number of outcomes = 16

Now, probability of getting blue marble = [tex]\frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting not blue marble = [tex]1 -\frac{1}{8} =\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of getting not blue marble is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex].
