Answer:

probability that a random draw is black = \frac{x}{x+y}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A jar contains "x" black and "y" white balls.

To find: What is the probability that a random draw is black.

Solution: We have given that black balls  = x

                                                 white balls = y

                                     total balls = x + y

probability that a random draw is black = \frac{Number\ of\ outcome happen}{Total numer of outcomes}

probability that a random draw is black = \frac{Ball\ drawn\ is\ black}{Total\ number\ of\ ball}.

probability that a random draw is black = \frac{x}{x+y}.

Therefore, probability that a random draw is black = \frac{x}{x+y}.
