an urn contains 5 green balls and 3 red balls . what is the probability that when two balls are selected at random with no replacement , both are green ? ( round to three decimal places)

Respuesta :

By using probability, it can be calculated that

Probability that when two balls are selected at random with no replacement , both are green = 0.357

What is probability?

At first it is important to know about probability of an event.

Probability gives us the information about how likely an event is going to occur

Probability is calculated by Number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Probability of any event is greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to 1.

Probability of sure event is 1 and probability of unsure event is 0.

Number of green balls = 5

Number of red balls = 3

Total number of balls = 5 + 3 = 8

Probability that when two balls are selected at random with no replacement , both are green = [tex]\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{4}{7} = \frac{5}{14} = 0.357[/tex]
