The rise of cultured pearls or pearl farms have made natural
pearls very rare and have limited pearl fishing.​ However, a
significant number of natural pearls from wild oysters can still be
found in the Australian Indian Ocean waters. Of the 5 kinds of
pearls in the​ wild, the probability of encountering pink
pearls is 0.05​; white pearls is 0.43​; purple
pearls is 0.03​; blue pearls is 0.25​; and
black pearls is 0.08. Calculate the likelihood of each of
the following events.
a. The probability of not encountering
a pink pearl.
b. The probability of encountering a pink pearl.
c. The probability of not encountering
a blue pearl.
