Question

In a bundle of pencils 8 are black and 17 are red. If 1 pencil is selected at random, what is the probability of getting a black pencil?​

Answer:

Black pencils =8

Red pencils = 17

Total pencils= 8+17

= 25 pencils

P(E) = Possible outcomes/ Total outcomes

Probability of getting a black pencil

P(Black pencil)= P.O/T.O

= 8/25
