Question

A bag contains 6 red and 5 black balls find the probability of getting a black ball

Answer 1

       

Total no. of balls = 5 + 6 = 11.

So the total no. of outcomes = 11.

No. of black balls = 5

So the no. of favourable outcomes = 5.

∴ Probability = 5/11.

Thank you. :-))

     

Answer 2

Given:

• Number of red balls in the bag = 6
• Number of black balls in the bag = 5

To Find:

• The probability of getting a black ball.

Solution:

From the given data we get to know that,

The total number of balls in the bag = 6 + 5 = 11 { adding the terms}

It is given that the bag contains 5 black balls, which means the bag will have 5 favorable outcomes out of 11 balls.

Therefore, probability of black balls in the bag = 5/11

∴ The probability of black balls in the bag = 5/11.

Answer 3

Given:

• Number of red balls in the bag = 6
• Number of black balls in the bag = 5

To Find:

• The probability of getting a black ball.

Solution:

From the given data we get to know that,

The total number of balls in the bag = 6 + 5 = 11 { adding the terms}

It is given that the bag contains 5 black balls, which means the bag will have 5 favorable outcomes out of 11 balls.

Therefore, probability of black balls in the bag = 5/11

∴ The probability of black balls in the bag = 5/11.
