Question

26.A bag contain 3 red balls and 5 black balls. A balls is drawn at random from
the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is red?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3R 5B

probability of ball is red = no. of red balls/ total no of bag

= 3/(3+5)=3/8

Answer 2

Answer :

• The probability that the ball drawn is red = 3/8.

Given :

• A bag contain 3 red balls and 5 black balls. A balls is drawn at random from the bag.

To Find :

• The probability that the ball drawn is red = ?

Solution :

• Number of red balls in a bag = 3
• Number of black balls = 5

★ Finding Total number of balls in a bag :

→ Total number of balls = number of red balls + number of black balls

→ Total number of balls = 3 + 5

→ Total number of balls = 8

• Hence,total number of balls in a bag is 8.

★ Finding the probability that the ball drawn is red :

➻ Probability of getting a red ball = Number of red balls ÷ Total numbers of balls in a bag

➻ Probability of getting a red ball = 3 ÷ 8

• Hence,the probability that the ball drawn is red = 3/8.
