Question

A box contains 24 balls. Some are blue and the others are green. If a ball is drawn at random, the probability that it is green is 3/2 . Find the number of blue balls and green balls in the box​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

* As mentioned in question that probability of getting green ball in 3/2

but we also know that probability of any event is always less than 1,it can never be greater than one (PROBABILITY < 1 )

SO THERE PROBABILITY OF GETTING GREEN BALL MUST BE 2/3

so considering the probability of getting green ball 2/3 ,we solve this question

Let the no. of green balls is - X

then probability of getting green balls out of 24 balls  = $\frac{No. of green ball}{Total no. of Balls}$

                         P  = $\frac{x}{24} = \frac{2}{3}$

solving , we will get No. of green balls (x) = 16
