Respuesta :
The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one is drawn is 7/16.
What is probability?
The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event. The formula for probability is given by; P(E) = Number of Favourable Outcomes/Number of total outcomes.
According to the given question.
Numnber of yellow balls = 2
Number of green balls = 3
Number of red balls = 5
Number of black balls = 6
So,
The total number of balls in a bag = 2+ 3+ 5 + 6 = 16
And,
The sum of yellow and red ball = 2 + 5 = 7
Therefore,
The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one ball is drawn
= [tex]\frac{total\ number\ of \ red \ and \ yellow\ balls }{Total\ number\ of \ balls}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{7}{16}[/tex]
Hence, the probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one is drawn is 7/16.
