Question

box contains 6 white and 3 red balls. If the balls have the same sizes and shapes, find the following: Probability of getting a white ball Probability of getting a red ball Odds of getting a red ball

Answer 1

The probability of getting a white ball is 2/3, the probability of getting a red ball is 1/3, and the odds of getting a red ball are 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of getting a white ball, we divide the number of white balls (6) by the total number of balls (9):

Probability of getting a white ball = 6/9 = 2/3

To find the probability of getting a red ball, we divide the number of red balls (3) by the total number of balls (9):

Probability of getting a red ball = 3/9 = 1/3

The odds of getting a red ball can be calculated by dividing the number of red balls (3) by the number of white balls (6):

Odds of getting a red ball = 3/6 = 1/2
