A bag contains 3 red and 2 blue marbles. A marble is drawn at random. The probability of drawing a black ball is :

  • A.3/5
  • B.2/5
  • C.0/5
  • D.1/5

Answer: C

The bag holds only red and blue marbles, so a black one cannot be drawn at all.

\[ P(\text{black}) = \frac{\text{number of black marbles}}{\text{total marbles}} = \frac{0}{5} = 0 \]

An event that cannot happen is an impossible event, and its probability is exactly zero.
