Answer: 0.7

Explanation:

Given : A drawer is filled with 9 black shirts, 6 white shirts, and 5 gray shirts.

Total shirts in the drawer = 9+6+5=20

Number of shirts that are not white = 20-6=14

Now, the if one shirt is chosen at random from the drawer. then the probability that it is not a white shirt will be :-


\text{P(Not white)}=\frac{\text{Number of shirts not white}}{\text{Total shirts}}\\\\\=(14)/(20)=0.7

Hence, the required probability = 0.7
