Question

A bag has $4$ red balls $2$ yellow balls and a ball is drawn from the bag without looking into the bag. What is the probability of getting a red ball? Is the probability of getting a red ball more or less than getting a yellow ball?

Answer 1

Given: No. of red ball $=4$

No. of yellow balls $=2$

Total no. of balls $=6$

Probability of getting red ball $=\frac{\text{No. of favourable Outcomes(getting red ball)}}{\text{Total No. of outcomes(Total balls)}}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Probability of getting yellow ball $=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore$ Probability of getting a red ball is greater than probability of getting a yellow ball.
