A bag contains 4 red, 5 black and 6 white balls. One ball is drawn from the bag at random. Find the probability that the ball drawn is:

(i) white


(ii) red


(iii) not black


(iv) red or white

(i) white


Total numbers of red balls = 4


Number of black balls = 5


Number of white balls = 6


Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15


Probability of getting a white ball is =


(ii) red


Total numbers of red balls = 4


Number of black balls = 5


Number of white balls = 6


Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15


Probability of getting a red ball is =


(iii) not black


Total numbers of red balls = 4


Number of black balls = 5


Number of white balls = 6


Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15


Number of non black balls = 4 + 6 = 10


Probability of getting a non black ball is =


(iv) red or white


Total numbers of red balls = 4


Number of black balls = 5


Number of white balls = 6


Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15


Number of red and white balls = 4 + 6 = 10


Probability of getting a red or white ball is =
