Given :
Number of red shirts = 3
Number of blue shirts = 4
Number of black shirts = 1
Number of grey shirts = 2
So, total outcomes = 3 +4 + 1 + 2
= 10
Favorable outcomes (non blue shirts ) = 3 + 1 + 2= 6
We know, probability = favorable outcome/Total outcome
= 6/10
= 3/5 or 0.60
Thus, probability of picking non blue shirt is 3/5 or 0.60
