उत्तर

Total number of marbles = 5 + 8 + 4

= 17

(1)Number of red marbles = 5

Probability of getting a red marble = `"Number of favorable outcome"/"Total number of outcome"`

= 5/17

(2) Number of white marbles = 8

Probability of getting a white marble = `"Number of favorable outcome"/"Total number of outcome"`

= 8/17

(3) Number of green marble = 4

Probability of getting a green marble = `"Number of favorable outcome"/"Total number of outcome"`

= 4/17

Probability of not getting a green marble = `1 - 4/17 = 13/17`
