Question

A bag contains 6 yellow counters, 3 green counters and 2 red counters. What is the probability that the first counter taken is red?

Answer 1

Yellow counters = 6

Green counters = 3

Red counters = 2

Total number of counters = 6 + 3 + 2 = 11

Probability that the 1st counter taken is red

= Number of red counters/ total number of counters

= 2/11
