Question

A bag has 6 red balls and 8 green balls. A ball is drawn from a bag without looking into the bag. What is the probability of getting a green ball?

• A. 3/4
• B. 1/14
• C. 3/7
• D. 4/7

Answer 1

The correct option is D

4/7

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of outcomes}}$

Number of green balls (favourable outcomes) =8

Total number of balls (total outcomes) = 14

So probability of getting a green ball
$=\frac{\text{Number of green balls}}{\text{Total number of balls}}$ $=\frac{8}{14}$ $=\frac{4}{7}$
