Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer:
A bag contains 3 white and 2 red balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is red?
(a) $\frac{1}{2}$
(b) $\frac{2}{3}$
(C) $\frac{1}{5}$
(d) $\frac{2}{5}$
Solution:
(d) $\frac{2}{5}$
Total number of outcomes $=5$
Number of red balls $=2$
Now, $\mathrm{P}_{(\text {red ball })}=\frac{2}{5}$
