The probability of drawing the balls

Q.1 If two balls are drawn at random from a bag of five balls including three red and two black balls. What is the probability that the one is black and the other is red ball?
Answer?
A) 50%
B) 20%
C) 30%
D) 40%
Answer: C) 30%
Explanation:
The probability of drawing one black ball and one red ball is=
(Number of ways to draw one black and one red) / (Total number of ways to draw two balls)
There are 2 black balls and 3 red balls, so:
- Number of ways to draw one black and one red: 2 (choose black) × 3 (choose red) = 6
- Total number of ways to draw two balls: 5 (choose first ball) × 4 (choose second ball) = 20
Probability = 6/20 = 3/10 = 0.3
So, the probability of drawing one black and one red ball is 0.3 or (C) 30%.
Q.2 If ONE balls are drawn at random from a bag of five balls including three red and two black balls. What is the probability that the ball drawn at random is black?
Answer?
A) 50%
B) 20%
C) 30%
D) 40%
Answer: D) 40%
Explanation:
There are 5 balls in total, and 2 of them are black. So, the probability of drawing a black ball is:
(Number of black balls) / (Total number of balls)
= 2/5
= 0.4
So, the probability of drawing a black ball is 0.4 or D) 40%.
Q.3 If ONE balls are drawn at random from a bag of five balls including three red and two black balls. What is the probability that the ball drawn at random is red?
Answer?
A) 60%
B) 20%
C) 30%
D) 40%
Answer: A) 60%
