A bag contains 5 red and 3 yellow balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting a red ball.
Given :
The total number of red balls in the bag $= 5$.
The total number of yellow balls in the bag $= 3$.
To find:
We have to find the probability of getting a red ball.
Solution :
The total number of balls in the bag $=5+3=8$.
Therefore,
The probability of drawing a red ball $= \frac{Number\ of\ red\ balls}{Total\ number\ of\ balls} = \frac{5}{8}$.
Therefore, the probability of getting a red ball is $\frac{5}{8}$.
