Question
ProbabilityA bag contains 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?Options1/145/163/74/7
Solution
The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
In this case, the total number of balls is 6 (black) + 8 (white) = 14 balls.
The number of favorable outcomes (drawing a white ball) is 8.
So, the probability (P) of drawing a white ball is calculated as follows:
P(White) = Number of white balls / Total number of balls P(White) = 8 / 14 P(White) = 4 / 7
So, the probability that the ball drawn is white is 4/7.
