Mathematics Question on Chance and Probability

If you have a spinning wheel with 33 green sectors, 11 blue sector and 11 red sector, what is the probability of getting a green sector? What is the probability of getting a non blue sector?

Answer

There are five sectors.
Three sectors are green out of five sectors.
Therefore, probability of getting a green sector = 35\frac{3 }{5}
There is one blue sector out of five sectors.
Non-blue sectors = 51=45 – 1 = 4 sectors
Therefore, probability of getting a non-blue sector = 45\frac{4}{5}
