Answer:

[tex]\frac{11}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of not Type A ball is basically the "number of not type A" divided by the total number of balls in the bag.

There are

Type A = 5 balls

Type B = 8 balls

Type C = 3 balls

Total = 5 +  8 + 3 = 16 balls

NOT TYPE A means either type B and type C:

8 + 3 = 11 balls

So, probability of not type A ball is: 11/16
