Missing Part:
a. A red ball is drawn
b. A white ball is drawn
Answer:
a. [tex]P(Red) = 0.4375[/tex]
b. [tex]P(White) = 0.3125[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Red = 7[/tex]
[tex]White = 5[/tex]
[tex]Yellow = 4[/tex]
First, we need to calculate the total
[tex]Total = Red + White + Yellow[/tex]
[tex]Total = 7+5+4[/tex]
[tex]Total = 16[/tex]
Solving (a): Probability of Red.
This is calculated by dividing number of red balls by the total
So:
[tex]P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]P(Red) = \frac{7}{16}[/tex]
[tex]P(Red) = 0.4375[/tex]
Solving (a): Probability of White.
This is calculated by dividing number of white balls by the total
So:
[tex]P(White) = \frac{White}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]P(White) = \frac{5}{16}[/tex]
[tex]P(White) = 0.3125[/tex]
