0.83

Step-by-step explanation

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible


P=\frac{favorable\text{ ourcomes}}{\text{total possible outcomes}}

Step |

Let


\begin{gathered} \text{favorable outcomes=car that is not blue or gre}en,\text{ so} \\ \text{favorable outcomes=}red\text{ cars+yellow cars+white cars+other} \\ \text{favorable outcomes=}40+29+26+14 \\ \text{favorable outcomes=}109 \end{gathered}

now, the total outcomes is the total of cars


\text{total outcomes=40+13+29+26+10+14=132}

Finally, replace in the equation


\begin{gathered} P=\frac{favorable\text{ ourcomes}}{\text{total possible outcomes}} \\ p=(109)/(132) \\ P=0.83 \end{gathered}

so, the answer is 0.83

I hope this helps you
