A bag contains 3 white, 5 black, and 2 red balls, all of the same shape and size. A ball is drawn from the bag without looking into it, find the probability that the ball drawn is not a red ball.

योग

उत्तर

In a bag, 3 balls are white

2 balls are red

5 balls are black

Total number of balls = 3 + 2 + 5 = 10

Number of possible outcomes = 10

number of favourable outcomes = 3 + 5 = 8

Not a red ball

∴ P(E) = `"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

= `8/10`

= `4/5`
