Answer:

A fish bowl contains blue, green and red plastic fish.

When a fish is picked out at random:

The probability of it being blue is 0.7

The probability of it being green is 0.2

=> The probability of picking a red fish: P  = 1 - 0.7 - 0.2 = 0.1

There are 60 fish in the fish bowl. Number of red fish is:

N = 60 x 0.1 = 6

Hope this helps!
