Question

A bag contains 5 white and 9 red balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting: (1) White Ball (2) Red Ball​

Answer 1

Answer:

total balls =14

no.of white balls = 5

no.of red balls = 9

1. p(w)=5/14
2. p(r)=9/14

Answer 2

Answer

(1) Probability of getting a white ball = 5/14

(2) Probability of getting a red ball = 9/14

Step by Step explanation:

Probability is always = No. of possible outcomes / Total no. of outcomes

In case of white balls = Possible outcomes = No. of white balls = 5

In case of red balls = Possible outcomes = No. of red balls = 9

And total no. of outcomes = Total no. of balls = 5+9 = 14
