A bag contains 10 red, 5 blue and 7 green balls. A ball is drawn at random. Find the probability of this ball not a blue ball

Solution:

Given, a bag contains 10 red, 5 blue and 7 green balls. 

A ball is drawn at random.

We have to find the probability of getting a red ball, green ball and not a blue ball.

Possible outcomes = 10 red ball + 5 blue ball + 7 green ball

Total number of possible outcomes = 10 + 5 + 7 = 22

The probability of the ball not being a blue ball is given by

There are 10 red balls, 7 green balls and 5 blue balls.

Favourable outcomes = 10 red balls + 7 green balls

Number of favourable outcomes = 17

Number of possible outcomes = 22

Probability = number of favourable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

Probability = 17/22

Therefore, the probability of getting a ball not being a blue ball is 17/22.
