Short Answer 0.8
Remark
The total number of possible draws is
3 Blue + 2 Red + 5 silver = 10
There are two ways of solving this, both of which will be used later on.
Method 1
If you don't draw a read paper clip, that means you will draw a silver or blue paper clip.
Method Two
The other way is to draw a red one and take that probability away from 1.
P(red) =
1 - 0.2 = 0.8 Same answer.
