Answer»

Given: A bag contains 6 red, 8 black and 4 white balls and a ball is drawn at random

Required to find: Probability that the ball drawn is not black

Total number of balls 6 + 8 + 4 = 18

Total number of black balls is 8

So, the total number of balls which are not black is 18 – 8 = 10

We know that, Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

Thus, the probability of drawing a ball which is not black = 10/18 = 5/9
