Question

A bucket contains 18 white and 9 red cloths. One cloth is drawn at random from the bucket .What is the probability that the cloth drawn is white?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting a white cloth is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cloths = 18+9=27

Ptobability of getting white cloth

= No of white cloths /Total no of clothes

=18/27

=2/3

Answer 2

Solution-

Number of white clothes=18

Number of red clothes=9

Total number of clothes in the bucket=Number of white clothes+Number of red clothes

=18+9

=27

We know that,

Probability =Number of outcomes that make the event /Total number of outcomes of the experiment

So,

Probability of drawing a white cloth=Number of white clothes in the bucket/Total number of clothes in the bucket

=18/27

=2/3

Ans.:2/3is the probability that the cloth drawn is white.
