Answer:
The probability of drawing a black ball can be calculated using the following formula:
Probability of drawing a black ball = Number of black balls / Total number of balls
In this case, there are 5 black balls and 3 red balls, so the total number of balls in the bag is:
Total number of balls = 5 + 3 = 8
Therefore, the probability of drawing a black ball is:
Probability of drawing a black ball = 5/8
So, the answer is the probability of drawing a black ball from a bag containing 5 black and 3 red balls is 5/8.
