Question

A box contains 13 red hats, 15 white hats, 18 blue hats, and 14 brown hats. Nina randomly chooses a hat from the box.

What is the probability that it will NOT be white? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

13 + 15 + 18 +14 = 60 total hats

15 are white

60-15 = 45 hats that are not white

45/60 reduces to 3/4

3/4 =0.75 probability the hat will not be white
