Question

A bag has 4 red balls, 3 white balls and 2 yellow. A ball is drawn from the bag without looking into the bag. Find the probability of getting white balls and yellow balls
​

Answer 1

Answer:

p(getting white ball) = 3/9

=1/3

p(getting yellow ball)=2/9

Answer 2

Given Data: 4 red balls, 3 white balls and 2 yellow balls.

To find: Probability of getting white balls and yellow balls.

Solution:

• Probability is to find the ratio of the given data.
• The total number of balls = 9.
• To find the white balls, X = $\frac{White Balls}{Total balls}$  ; X = $\frac{3}{9}$ ;
• X = $\frac{1}{3}$.
• To find the Yellow balls, Y = $\frac{Yellow Balls}{Total balls}$  ;  Y = $\frac{2}{9}$ .  
• The Probability of getting White balls is $\frac{3}{9} or \frac{1}{3}$ .
• The Probability of getting Yellow balls is $\frac{2}{9}$ .
