Answer:
The probability that the socks picked is not blue is 11/14
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate that a socks selected from random from the group of socks given in the question is not a blue socks.
This means the socks would either be a black or a white socks
Firstly, we find the total number of socks = 8 + 6 + 14 = 28 socks
Now the probability of picking a blue socks will be 6/28 = 3/14
We must understand that the probability of not picking a blue socks = 1 - the probability of picking a blue socks
Thus, the probability of not picking a blue socks will be 1 - 3/14 = 11/14
Answer:
The probability that a sock chosen at random is not blue P = 11/14 = 0.786
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the chances of getting a particular outcome.
Given:
Black socks = 8
Blue socks = 6
White socks = 14
Total = 8+6+14 =28
The probability that a sock chosen at random is not blue P;
P = number of non-blue socks ÷ total number of socks
Number of non blue socks = black + white socks = 8+14 = 22
Substituting the values;
P = 22/28 = 11/14
P = 11/14 = 0.786
