Final answer:

The probability of picking a non-green ball without looking is 9/20 + 6/20 = 15/20 = 3/4.


Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls in the bag is 5 + 9 + 6 = 20.

The probability of picking a non-green ball without looking is equal to the probability of picking either a red or a blue ball.

The probability of picking a red ball is 9/20 and the probability of picking a blue ball is 6/20.
