Question

A ball is drawn randomly from a jar that contains 7 red balls, 5 white balls, and 4 yellow ball. Find the probability of the given event.

Answer 1

Missing Part:

a. A red ball is drawn

b. A white ball is drawn

Answer:

a. $P(Red) = 0.4375$

b. $P(White) = 0.3125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 7$

$White = 5$

$Yellow = 4$

First, we need to calculate the total

$Total = Red + White + Yellow$

$Total = 7+5+4$

$Total = 16$

Solving (a): Probability of Red.

This is calculated by dividing number of red balls by the total

So:

$P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total}$

$P(Red) = \frac{7}{16}$

$P(Red) = 0.4375$

Solving (a): Probability of White.

This is calculated by dividing number of white balls by the total

So:

$P(White) = \frac{White}{Total}$

$P(White) = \frac{5}{16}$

$P(White) = 0.3125$
