Answer:

Total no. of balls in the bag is 15 (7 red, 5 black and 3 white)

Solution(i):

No. of red balls in bag is 7

Therefore,

7

( Selecting 1 out of 15 items) a red ball is picked.

Let E be the event of drawing a red ball from bag

We know that, Probability P(E) =

(Total no.of possible outcomes)

(No.of favorable outcomes)

Step-by-step explanation:

TOTAL NO OF BALLS IN BOTH BAGS = 5+7+8+3=23

TOTAL NO OF WHITE BALLS IN BOTH BAGS = 7+3=10

TOTAL NO OF BLACK BALLS IN BOTH BAGS= 8+5=13

P(WHITE BALLS) =NO OF WHITE BALLS / TOTAL NO OF BALLS

= 10/23
