Respuesta :

Answer:

13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the probability that jimmy will select a golf ball and that will not be a black one is   [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]

What is probability?

  • The chance that the given event will occur is called probability.
  • The formula of probability can be given as, Total number of favourable cases divided by total number of cases.
  • Probability ≤ 1

How to find out the probability that jimmy will select a golf ball and that will not be a black one?

In the problem , it is given that there are 18 green golf balls, 14 blue golf ball , 20 pink golf balls, and 8 black golf balls.

  • Total number of balls = ( 18 + 14 + 20 + 8)= 60

Total number of balls which are not black = (60 - 8) = 52

  • Here, total cases = 60 and favourable cases = 52

∴ Required probability = [tex]\frac{52}{60}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]

So, the probability that jimmy will select a golf ball and that will not be a black one is   [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]
