Q8 of 54 Page 308

A bag contains 6 white balls numbered from 1 to 6 and 4 red balls numbered from 7 to 10. A ball is drawn at random. Find the probability of getting

(i) an even-numbered ball (ii) a white ball.

Total no of white balls = 6


Total no of red balls = 4


Thus total no of balls = 6+4 = 10


(i) no of probable outcomes for even numbered ball = 5


⇒ probability



(ii) no of probable outcomes of a white ball = 6


⇒ probability
