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

This question tests the basic probability formula P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes. For part (i), students need to count the red balls as favorable outcomes. For part (ii), students can either count the black balls directly or use the complement formula P(not E) = 1 - P(E).
