Question

A bag contains 5 white and 9 red balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting (a) a white ball (b) a red ball

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Total outcome= 5+9=13

Favourable outcome=5

Probability= 5/13

(b) Total outcome= 13

Favourable outcome=9

Probability= 9/13

hope it would be helpful to you.....

Answer 2

1. Possible outcome = 14

  Favourable outcome = 5

P(E) = Favourable outcome/Possible outcome

      = 5/14

Probability of getting a white ball is 5/14

2. Possible outcome = 14

   Favourable outcome = 9

P(E) = Favourable outcome/Possible outcome

       = 9/14

Probability of getting a red ball is 9/14
