Question 8 of 22beginner🔧 ApplyShort Answer2 marks
A bag contains 3 red balls and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is (i) red? (ii) not red?
(i)
Answer
3/8
(ii)
Answer
5/8
Explanation
The question requires calculating the probability of drawing a red ball and a non-red ball. Based on the provided context, the bag contains a total of 8 balls (3 red + 5 black). For part (i), the probability is the ratio of red balls to the total. For part (ii), 'not red' implies black balls, or one can subtract the probability of red from 1.
