In a bottle there are 7 red buttons , 5 green buttons and 8 purple buttons . What is the probability that randomly drawn button from the bottle is a purple button ?If one extra green button is put in side the bottle, what will be the probability that randomly drawn button is purple?

Total observation = 7 + 5 + 8 = 20.
Red = 7.
Green = 5.
Purple = 8.

P ( Purple ) = 8 / 20 = 4 / 10 = 2 / 5 or 0.4.
If 1 green bottle is put it the bottle then total observation will be 21.
P ( Purple ) = 8 / 21.

Hope it helps and have a good day..!!
