Correct answer: A
First, calculate the total number of balls: 6 blue + 5 white + 4 yellow = 15 balls.
Next, find the number of non-white balls: 6 blue + 4 yellow = 10 balls.
The probability of not getting a white ball is the number of non-white balls divided by the total number of balls: 10/15.
Simplify the fraction: 10/15 = 2/3.
