A bag contains 5 red, 8 white and 7 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability that the drawn ball is (i) red or white (ii) not black (iii) neither white nor black.
Answer :
Total number of possible outcomes, n(S) = 20
(i) Number of favorable outcomes, n(E) = 13
(ii) Number of events of getting a black ball, n(E) = 7
Probability of not getting a black ball = 1 – P(E)
(iii) Number of favorable outcomes, n(E) = 5
