Question : 33

Total: 40

A box contains 10 green and 8 white balls of the same size. If a ball is selected at random from the box, what is the probability that it is green?

$\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{4}{5}$
$\frac{5}{9}$
$\frac{4}{9}$

Solution:

Concept:

Probability of an event is the favourable outcomes divided by the total outcomes.

Explanation:

Total number of balls

= 10 + 8 = 18

.

Number of green balls

= 10

.

So,

P(\text{green}) = \frac{10}{18} = \frac{5}{9}

.

Answer:

\frac{5}{9}

, which is option C.
