Question

A bag has 4 red balls and 2 yellow balls. ( The balls are indentical in all respects other than colour). A ball is drawn from bag without looking into the bag. What is probability of getting a red ball? Is it more or less than getting yellow ball? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of red balls= 4

No. of yellow balls=2

Total no. of balls=6

Probability of getting a red ball=4/6

=2/3

Its is more than getting a yellow ball, as the probability of getting a yellow ball is 1/3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

There are in all ( 4+2 =) 6 outcomes of the event. Getting a red ball consists of 4 outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of getting a red ball is 4/6 = 2/3. In the same way the probability of getting a yellow ball = 2/6=1/3.

Therefore, the probability of getting a red ball is more than that of getting a yellow ball.
