    A bag contains 12 balls out of which\[x\]are white. If one ball is drawn at random, what is the probability that it will be a white ball?

    A) \[x\]                                     

    B)         \[\frac{x}{2}\]                  

    C)         \[\frac{x}{12}\]                               

    D)        \[12x\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Random drawing of balls ensures equally likely outcomes. Total number of balls = 12 \[\therefore \]Total number of possible outcomes =12 Number of white balls\[=x\] \[\Rightarrow \]Out of total 12 outcomes, favorable outcomes \[=x\] P (White ball) = \[\frac{\text{Number}\,\text{of}\,\text{favourable}\,\text{outcomes}}{\text{Totalnumber}\,\text{ofpossibleoutcomes}}=\frac{x}{12}\]
