Question

A bag contains 4 blue balls, 3 white balls and 5 red balls. what is the event of picking a blue ball from the bag

​

Answer 1

There is a 1/3 chance of pulling a blue ball out of the bag.

Explanation:

1. The question tells us that there are 12 balls (4 blue balls, 3 white balls, and 5 red balls) in the bag in total.
2. We are left to assume that we are finding the probability of the blue ball on the first draw.
3. There are 4 blue balls out of 12 blue balls total.
4. 
   `(4 blue balls)/(12 balls) = (1)/(3)` (4/12 can be simplified into 1/3)
5. There is a 1/3 chance of pulling a blue ball out of the bag.

There is a 1/3 chance of pulling a blue ball out of the bag.
