Question

A bag contains 8 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball is thrice that
of a red ball, determine the number of blue balls in the bag.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of red balls=5

Let no. of blue balls be x

Total balls=5+x

according to question,

x/5+x = 3 X 5/x+5

x=15

no. of blue balls=15

P(of blue ball)=15/20=3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

x=8

y=_

=probability =3x=y

probability =y/3x

probability =y/24
