Question
A bag contains a certain number of red balls. A ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.
Solution
Total possible outcomes = number of red balls.
Number of favorable outcomes for red balls = number of red balls
P(red ball) = `"Number of favorable outcomes"/"Total possible outcomes"`
= `"number of red balls"/"number of red balls"`
= 1
