Question

a bag contains 24 balls of which some are blue and others are red .A ball is chosen at random .The probability of getting a red ball is 2/3.find numbers of blue balls

Answer 1

∆ The probability sum of two balls is 1.
∆ Therefore 2/3+ probability of finding blue balls = 1.
∆ Then probability of finding blue balls is 1-2/3
1/3.
∆ no.of balls is 1/3 × 24
∆ Then no.of balls is 8.
∆ I think so my answer is correct.

Answer 2

Given that number of blue balls + red balls = 24.

Given that probability of drawing a red ball = 2/3.

Then probability of drawing a blue ball = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

Then,

Number of blue balls = (1/3) * 24

= > 24/3

= > 8.

Therefore, the number of blue balls = 8.

Hope this helps!
