#### Question

A bag contains 3 red balls, 4 blue balls and 1 yellow ball, all the balls being identical in shape and size. If a ball is taken out of the bag without looking into it; find the probability that the ball is:

neither yellow nor red

#### Solution

Total number of balls in the bag=3+4+1=8

Number of possible outcomes=8=n(s)

Neithher yellow ball nor red ball means a blue ball

Event of not drawing a yellow or red ball=E=4

n(E)=4

Probability of not drawing a yellow or red ball=(n(E))/(n(S))=4/8=1/2

Is there an error in this question or solution?
