A bag contains 5 white and 4 red balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is not red ?
\(\dfrac{5}{9}\)
The bag contains 5 white balls and 4 red balls, so the total number of balls is 5 + 4 = 9.
The balls that are not red are the white balls, and their number is 5.
The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
So, the probability that the ball drawn is not red is \(\dfrac{5}{9}\).
Hence, the probability that the ball drawn is not red is \(\dfrac{5}{9}\).
