There are 4 red balls, 6 white balls, and 3 blue balls in a bag. If one ball is drawn from the bag at random, what is the probability that it is not white?

Answer:
(7)/(13)

Explanation:

Given: The total number of balls =
4+6+3=13

The number of white balls = 6

The balls which are not white =
13-6=7

If one ball is drawn from the bag at random, the probability that it is not white is given by :-


\text{P(balls not white)}=\frac{\text{balls not white}}{\text{Total balls}}=(7)/(13)
