Mercy has a box of balls, of which 11 are red, 13 are blue, and 8 are white. Without looking, she reaches into the box to pull out a ball. Find the probability that she will NOT pull out a white ball.

The odds of Mercy pulling out a red or blue ball will be:\[\frac{11+13}{32}\]So she has a 2/3 chance of NOT picking a white ball. Make sense?

yes

Oops...not 2/3 but 3/4ths!
