Question
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
a black ball.
Solution
Total number of ball3+5+2=10
Total number of events =p(n)=10
(1) There are 5 black balls
favourable number of events =p(A) =5
Hence, p(getting a black ball)=`(P(A))/(P(n))=5/10=1/2`
