Answer 2

Number of white balls: \(x\).
Number of black balls: \(24-x\).

P(white) = \(\frac{x}{24}\)

P(black) = \(\frac{24-x}{24}\)

Now use the piece of information you're given and you'll get a very simple equation.

Answer 4

"The probability of finding a white ball is twice that of finding a black ball."

P(white) = x/24
P(black) = (24-x)/24

P(white) = 2*P(black)
=> x/24 = 2*(24-x)/24

Answer 5

lemme solve

Answer 6

x/24 = 24-x/12

Answer 7

No. of white balls = 16

Answer 8

Yes, correct.
