Question

3. A ball is drawn randomly from a jar that contains 4 red balls, 13 white balls, and 5 yellow balls. Find the probability of drawing a white ball.

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total number of balls:

`4+13+5=22`

Then, to find the probability of drawing a white ball, let's divide the number of white balls by the total number of balls:

`\begin{gathered} P(\text{white)}=\frac{N(\text{white)}}{N(\text{total)}} \\ P(\text{white)}=(13)/(22) \end{gathered}`

So the probability is 13/22 or 0.5909 (59.09%)
