The complement of not picking a pink marble would be picking a marble that is not pink. To calculate this, add up the marbles that are not pink: 5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white = 21 marbles that are not pink.
So, the complement of not picking a pink marble would be 21 marbles out of a total of 9 pink + 5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white = 30 marbles in the bag. The probability of the complement of not picking a pink marble would be 21/30, which simplifies to 7/10.
Therefore, the answer is 7/10.
