Solution

The possible outcomes of $7$ different coloured bottles are {red, blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes are $7$ .

Now, the possible outcome of not getting a yellow coloured bottle is {red, blue, green, pink, purple, orange}, which means the number of favourable outcome is $6$ .

Therefore, probability $P$ of not getting a yellow coloured bottle is:

$P = \frac{6}{7}$

Hence, the probability of not getting a yellow coloured bottle is $\frac{6}{7}$ .
