Solution
\[\text{ Number of red balls } = 3\]
\[\text{ Number of black balls } = 5\]
\[\text{ Total number of balls }= 3 + 5 = 8\]
\[\text{ Let A be the event of drawing a red ball } . \]
\[ \therefore P\left( A \right) = \frac{\text{ Number of favourable outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{3}{8}\]
