Answer:

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19

Explanation:

Given:

Number of balls = 1 to 19

Find:

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4

Computation:

Total even number = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

Probability to get even number P(A) = 9 / 19

Probability to get 4 number P(B) = 1 / 19

P(A and B) = 1 / 19 (4 common)

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)]

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A and B)

P(A or B) = [9 / 19] + [1 / 19] - [1 / 19]

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19
