Question

there are 4 red balls in a bag and 8 yellow balls a ball is drawn random from the bag find the probability of not red ball​

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

There are 4 red balls and 8 yellow balls.

Therefore, there are total 12 balls in the bag.

n(S) = 12

Let A be the event when the ball drawn is not a red ball.

The balls which are not red will be yellow balls and there are 8 yellow balls so,

n(A) = 8

Probability that the ball drawn randomly from the bag is not a red ball,

p(A) = n(A) / n(S)

= 8/12

= 2/3

Therefore, the probability of the ball drawn randomly is not a red ball is 2/3.
