Question

A ball is drawn at random from a container that holds 8 yellow balls numbered 1 to 8, 6 orange balls numbered 1 to 6, and 10 gray balls numbered 1 to 10. what is the probability of obtaining an orange ball or a ball numbered 5 or an orange ball numbered 5 in a draw of one ball? what is the probability of a gray ball or a ball numbered 8 or a gray ball numbered 8 in a draw of one ball?

Answer 1

A)

total of balls = 8+6+10= 24 balls 

3/24= .125 and it is 12.5 % that one of the orange balls is 5 because it is an odd number.

B) 

4/24 =.167 0r 16.7% that of the gray balls is numbered 8.
