14*
Calculate P(neither white nor red).
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

9/14

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of neither white nor red, we need to find the probability of all the other colors combined.

Given that P(white) = 4/14 and P(red) = 1/14, we can find the probability of neither white nor red by subtracting the sum of P(white) and P(red) from 1.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Add the probabilities of white and red: (4/14) + (1/14) = 5/14

2. Subtract the sum from 1 to find the probability of neither white nor red: 1 - (5/14) = 9/14

Therefore, the probability of choosing a card that is neither white nor red is 9/14.
