GCSE Maths Practice: listing-outcomes

Question 3 of 10

This question introduces probability with coloured balls.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{If a bag contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls,} \\ \textbf{what is the probability of picking a red ball?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( \frac{3}{5} \) \( \frac{1}{2} \) \( \frac{2}{5} \)

Count favourable outcomes and divide by total.

Probability = favourable / total outcomes. Here: 3 red / 5 total = 3/5.
