Question

A bag contains 2 white balls, 6 orange balls and 2 red balls. If a ball is drawn, find the probability that it is a white or red ball.

Answer 1

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

`2+6+2=10`

Since there are 2 white balls and 2 red balls, the number of white or red balls is 4.

So the probability is:

`p=\frac{red\text{ or }white}{total}=(4)/(10)=(2)/(5)`

Correct option: A
