Answer» PROBABILITY of an event = Number of FAVORABLE outcomes/Total number of outcomes Total no. of balls in the BAG = 5 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18 The probability that the ball drawn is not blue = 1 – Probability of the ball being blue Probability of the ball being blue = 6C1/18C1 = 6/18 = 1/3 ⇒ Probability that the ball drawn is not blue = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3 |
