Question: 7

In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither blue nor green?
  • 2/3
  • 8/21
  • 3/7
  • 9/22

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: B

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21

Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither blue nor green = event that the ball drawn is red.

Therefore, n(E) = 8.

P(E) = 8/21.
