A bag contains 5 white balls, 6 red balls and 9 green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability that the ball drawn is:

(i) a green ball

(ii) a white or a red ball

(iii) is neither a green ball nor a white ball.


As given,

Number of red balls = 5

Number of green balls = 8

Number of red balls = 7

Total number of balls = 5 + 8 + 7 = 20

(i)Number of green balls = 9 = Number of favourable cases

Probability of green balls = P(Green ball) Number of favourable glassesTotal number of balls = 920

(ii) Number of white balls = 5, Number of red balls = 6

Number of favourable cases = 5 + 6 = 11

Probalility of white or red ball = P(white or red ball ) = Number of favourable casesTotal number of balls = 1120

(iii) P(Neither green ball nor white ball) = P(red ball)

                                                         = Number of red ballsNumber of total balls = 620
