Question
A bag contains 3 red balls, 5 black balls and 4 white balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is Black
Solution
Total number of possible outcomes = 12 {3 red balls, 5 black balls & 4 white balls}
E ⟶ event of getting black ball
No. of favourable outcomes = 5 {5 black balls}
Probability, P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P (E) =5/12
