Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of not getting a white ball is: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the likeliness of occurrence of an event. The probability is denoted by p.

The sum of probability of occurrence of an event and non-occurrence of an event is 1.

Let p be the probability of getting a white ball

p = 1/4

Let q be the probability of not getting a white ball

q =?

The sum of p and q will be 1.

So,

$p + q = 1\\q = 1-p\\q = 1 - \frac{1}{4}\\q = \frac{4-1}{4}\\q = \frac{3}{4}$

Hence,

The probability of not getting a white ball is: 3/4
