Question

A box contains 5 red, 8 blue and 3 green pens. Rutuja wants to pick a pen at random. What is the probability that the pen is blue? Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

∴ n(S) = 16

Let A be the event that Rutuja picks a blue pen.

\(\therefore\) A = {B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8}

∴ The probability that Rutuja picks a blue pen is 1/2.
