A kite seller in Ahmedabad has 36 kites in three colours: 14 red, 10 green and the rest yellow. A child picks one kite at random. What is the probability that the kite is NOT red?

Question

Accepted Answer

11/18. Yellow kites = 36 - 14 - 10 = 12, so kites that are not red = 10 + 12 = 22 (or simply 36 - 14). P = 22/36 = 11/18. 7/18 is P(red), the complement; 5/18 counts only the green kites; 1/3 counts only the yellow ones.
