A bag contains 6 black, 7 red and 2 white balls. A ball is drawn from the bag at random. Find the probability that the ball drawn is black or white.

Answer: A

Total number of balls = 15

Number of balls that are either black or white = 8

Hence the number of favourable outcomes of ball drawn being black or white is 8.

We know that, Probability of an event E, P (E) =number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

So, the required probability is 8/15.
