Best answer

Total number of balls :- 18

Number of black balls:- 4

Number of white balls:- 6

Number of Red balls:- 8

(a) Since there are 14 balls which are red and white colour, so the total number of favourable cases becomes = 14

Total number of balls = 18

P(Red or white) = 15/18

(b) Not black balls mean that red or white is drawn.

Total number of balls = 18

P(Not black) = 15/18

(c) Neither white nor black means that the ball is drawn are red

Total Number of favourable cases = 8

P(Neither white Nor black) = 8/18
