A bag contains 5 white and 9 red balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting

(a) a white ball

(b) a red ball

Total number of balls = 5 + 9 = 14 balls

n(S) = 14

(i) Number of white ball = 5

n(E) = 5

Probability of getting white ball =n(E)/n(S) =5/14

(ii) Number of red balls = 9

n(E) = 9

Probability of getting white ball =n(E)/n(S) =9/14
