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:

not yellow

Solution

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

Number of possible outcomes =8=n(s)

Probability of not drrawing a yellow ball=1- Probability of drawing a yellow ball Probability of not drawing a yellow ball=1-1/8=(8-1)/8=7/8

Is there an error in this question or solution?
