A box contains 12 green balls, 11 red balls, 7 white balls, and 10 black balls. What is the probability of drawing a black ball from this box? A. B. C. D.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

1/4

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\[Probability = \frac{ No~of Black balls }{ Total~Balls }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so. \[probabilty= \frac{ 10 black}{ 12 green+11red+7white+10black }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or \[probabilty= \frac{ 10 }{ 40 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you would simplify that and the answer is a probability of 1 in 4. 1 black ball in every 4 pulled out.
