A bowl contains 15 red beads, 30 white beads, 20 blue beads, and 7 black beads. If one of the beads is drawn at random, what is the probabilities that:
a.it will be red?:: 15/72
--------------------------------
b.it will be black?:: 7/72
--------------------------------
c.it will be white or black?:: (30+7)/72 = 37/72
---------------------------------
d.it will be neither white or black?:: (72-37)/72 = 35/72
------------
