Question

A bag contain 24 balls of which x are red, 2x are white and 3x are blue. A ball is selected at random.what is the probability that it is not red

Answer 1

2x+3x+x=24

6x=24

X=4

Red(x)=4

White(2x)=8

Blue(3x)=12

Probability of getting not getting red=20/24=5/6

Answer 2

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2x + 3x = 24

x = 4

No. of red balls = 4

no. of balls which are not red = 24 - 4 = 20

now PROBABILITY = (NO. OF FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES) / (TOTAL NO. OF OUTCOMES)

P = 20/24

P = 5/6
