Question

Fabio has a bag with 6 white balls, 8 red balls, 14 green balls, and 12 orange balls. He will randomly choose 1 ball from the bag. What is the probability Fabio will choose a white ball?

Answer 1

The number of white balls are n = 6.

Determine the total balls in the bag.

$\begin{gathered} T=6+8+14+12 \\ =40 \end{gathered}$

Determine the probability for chossen ball to be white.

$\begin{gathered} P(W)=\frac{6}{40} \\ =\frac{3}{20} \end{gathered}$

So answer is 3/20.
