The figure below shows a shaded rectangle inside a large rectangle:

A rectangle of length 10 units and width 5 units is shown. Inside this rectangle is another rectangle of length 9 units and width 3 units placed symmetrically inside the larger rectangle. The smaller rectangle is shaded gray.

If you choose a point inside the large rectangle, what is the probability that it is not inside the shaded rectangle?
