Q5A A box contains 68 red balls, 80 white balls, and 55 blue balls. (a) If one ball is drawn from that box at random, determine the probability that it is not white. (b) If three balls are drawn at random, find the probability that they are drawn in the order blue, white, and red (each ball is not replaced).
