Number of white balls in a bag= 5
Number of red balls in a bag= 7
Number of black balls in a bag= 4
Number of blue balls in a bag= 2

Total Number of balls in a bag= 5 +7+4+2= 18
Total number of favourable outcomes= 18

i) Number of white & blue balls in a bag= 5+2= 7
Number of favourable outcomes= 7

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
P(white or blue) = 7/18

ii) Number of red & black balls in a bag= 7+4= 11
Number of favourable outcomes= 11

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
P(red or black) = 11/18

iii) Number of not white balls in a bag=
Total number of balls in a bag - number of white balls = 18 -5 = 13
Number of favourable outcomes= 13

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
P(not white) = 13 /18

iv) Number of balls neither white nor black in a bag= Total number of balls in a bag - number of white & black balls = 18 -(5+4) = 18 - 9= 9
Number of favourable outcomes= 9

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
P(not white) = 9 /18 = ½.
