Given:
A ball is chosen at random from a container of 5 white balls, 8 red balls, 7 yellow balls and 4 green balls.
We need to determine the probability of choosing either red or white.
Probability of choosing either red or white:
Total number of balls in the container is given by
[tex]5+8+7+4=24[/tex]
Thus, there are 24 number of balls in the container.
The probability of choosing either red or white is given by
[tex]\frac{5+8}{24}=\frac{13}{24}[/tex]
Thus, the probability of choosing either red or white is [tex]\frac{13}{24}[/tex]
The probability of choosing either red or white is 13/24.
First step
Total number of balls=5 white balls+ 8 red balls +7 yellow balls + 4 green balls
Total number of balls=24 balls
Second step
Probability of either red or white=5+8/24
Probability of either red or white=13/24
Inconclusion the probability of choosing either red or white is 13/24.
