c. The probability of picking a white ball is 6/11. (There are 6 white balls out of a total of 11 balls.)
d. The probability of not picking a red ball is 1 - 3/11 = 8/11. (There are 8 balls that are not red out of a total of 11 balls.)
e. The probability of not picking a black ball is 1 - 2/11 = 9/11. (There are 9 balls that are not black out of a total of 11 balls.)
