Answer:

The Probability of not getting two consecutive reds is 0.9506

Explanation:

Number of sections = 9

Number of red sections = 2

Number of blue sections = 3

Number of green sections = 4

Probability of getting two consecutive reds =
(2)/(9) * (2)/(9)=(4)/(81)

So,The Probability of not getting two consecutive reds =
1- (4)/(81)=(77)/(81)=0.9506

Hence The Probability of not getting two consecutive reds is 0.9506
