Question

nine balls marked1 to 9 are placed in a box. if you pick one ball at random. what is the probability that an 8 is taken out

Answer 1

P = 1/9

Explanation:

• In this scenario, there are a total of nine balls in the box, numbered from 1 to 9 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
• We are interested in finding the probability of selecting the ball marked with the number 8.

• The probability of an event occurring is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

• In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 because there is only one ball marked with the number 8.

• The total number of possible outcomes is 9 since there are nine balls in total.

Probability of selecting the ball marked with 8

`\sf Probability = (Number\: of \:favorable\: outcomes )/( Total \:number\: of\: possible\: outcomes)\\\\\sf Probability = (1 )/(9)`

Answer 2

P(8) = 1/9

Explanation:

There are 9 balls, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

We want to get ball 8

P(8) = number of balls marked 8/ total number of balls

= 1/9
