Exercise 2 Page 318

We want to find the number of ways in which the event of choosing a game piece that is not yellow can occur. Let's take a look at the given picture.
Game pieces

There are 10 game pieces. We have an equal chance of choosing any one of them when we randomly choose one game piece. This means that there are 10 possible ways the event can occur.

We want to find the number of favorable outcomes of the event of choosing a game piece that is not yellow. Let's take another look at the given picture.
Game pieces

There are 2 blue pieces, 2 red pieces, 1 green piece, and 5 yellow pieces. This means that there are 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 pieces that are not yellow, so there are 5 favorable outcomes of the event.
