    P (Yellow) = 0.25 P (Not Red) = 0.65

    Step-by-step explanation:

    P (Red) = 0.35

    P (Green) = 0.4

    (a) Since there are three colours inside the bag

    P (Red) + P (Green) + P (Yellow) = 1

    0.35+0.4+P (Yellow) = 1

    P (Yellow) = 1 - (0.35+0.4)

    P (Yellow) = 0.25

    (b) In probability, the sum of an event and its complement is 1.

    Therefore:

    P (Red) + P (Not Red) = 1

    0.35+P (Not Red) = 1

    P (Not Red) = 1-0.35

    P (Not Red) = 0.65
