Subject: probability four red balls numbered 1 thru 4 and three blue balls numbered 3 thru 5 placed in a bag. a ball is drawn from the bag. find the probability of choosing a red or 5 ball. |
Hi Carl.
There are seven balls in all. There are only two balls that don't have a 5 and are not red. So 1 - 2/7 = 5/7.
Hope this helps,
Stephen La Rocque.
