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,
[tex]p + q = 1\\q = 1-p\\q = 1 - \frac{1}{4}\\q = \frac{4-1}{4}\\q = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Hence,
The probability of not getting a white ball is: 3/4
