उत्तर

Let event G = A Green ball is sleeted from the bag.

Given: P(G) = `1/3`
Event B = A Blackball is selected from the bag.
To find P(B).
Event Y = A Yellow ball is selected from the bag.
Given: P(Y) =  `1/5`.

Since the events are mutually exclusive and exhaustive,
P(G) + P(B) + P(Y) = 1
∴ `1/3 + "P"("B") + 1/5` = 1

∴ P(B) + `8/15` = 1

∴ P(B) = `1 - 8/15 = 7/15`
∴ Probability of a black ball selected is `7/15`.
