Question
A bag contains 13 white and some black balls. If the
probability of drawing a black ball from the bag is twice that of drawing a white ball, find the number of black balls in the bag.Solution
Given, Number of white balls = 13 Let x be the number of black balls. Total number of balls in the bag = 13 + x Also, the probability of drawing a black ball from the bag is twice that of drawing a white ball. β x/(13 + x) = 2[13/(13 + x)] β x = 26 Hence, the number of black balls in the bag = 26.
