Question 418749: Use a rack of a typical set of billiard balls.
If one ball is selected at random, determine the odds against containing any red color. (solid or striped) Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are fifteen billiard balls, and two red balls. The odds of picking a red ball are therefore 2:13 (not 2:15), so the odds against are 13:2.
