A bag contains 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?

  • A.3/4
  • B.4/7
  • C.1/8
  • D.3/7

Answer: B

The bag holds \( 6 + 8 = 14 \) balls.

\[ P = \frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} \]

The denominator is the total, not the number of black balls - using 6 would give \( \tfrac{4}{3} \), which is not even a valid probability.
