A bag contains 6 red, 8 black and 4 white balls. A ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is not black?
Solution:
The likelihood of an event happening is measured by probability. Many things are difficult to completely predict in advance. Using it, we can only forecast the probability, or likelihood, of an event occurring.
Given: A bag contains 6 red, 8 black and 4 white balls and a ball is drawn at random
Required to find: Probability that the ball drawn is not black
Total number of balls 6 + 8 + 4 = 18
Total number of black balls is 8
So, the total number of balls which are not black is 18 – 8 = 10
We know that, Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
Thus, the probability of drawing a ball which is not black = 10/18 = 5/9
