What is the probability of picking a red ball from bag?(a) \(\frac{1}{2}\)(b) \(\frac{1}{3}\)(c) \(\frac{1}{4}\)(d) \(\frac{1}{6}\)I have been asked this question at a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Data Handling in section Data Handling of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

The correct option is (B) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

For EXPLANATION I WOULD say: A bag has 6 balls; two of each color red, blue, green. When a ball is picked from bag, it can be of red, blue or green. So possible OUTCOME of picking ball from bag is 3. Hence, the probability of picking a red ball from the bag is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
