A bag contains 4 red, 5 black and 6 white balls. One ball is drawn from the bag at random. Find the probability that the ball drawn is:
(i) white
(ii) red
(iii) not black
(iv) red or white
(i) white
Total numbers of red balls = 4
Number of black balls = 5
Number of white balls = 6
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Probability of getting a white ball is = ![]()
(ii) red
Total numbers of red balls = 4
Number of black balls = 5
Number of white balls = 6
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Probability of getting a red ball is = ![]()
(iii) not black
Total numbers of red balls = 4
Number of black balls = 5
Number of white balls = 6
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Number of non black balls = 4 + 6 = 10
Probability of getting a non black ball is = ![]()
(iv) red or white
Total numbers of red balls = 4
Number of black balls = 5
Number of white balls = 6
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Number of red and white balls = 4 + 6 = 10
Probability of getting a red or white ball is = ![]()
