There will be 5 cases and each case will be equally probable so lets find out the probability of getting 1 red ball in each case. Case 1= 5 Red balls and 0 green ball. P ( r e d b a l l ) = 1 . P Case 2 = 4 Red balls and 1 green ball. P ( r e d b a l l ) = 4 5 P Case 3= 3 Red balls and 2 green ball. P ( r e d b a l l ) = 3 5 P Case 4= 2 Red balls and 3 green balls. P ( r e d b a l l ) = 2 5 P Case 5= 1 Red ball and 4 green balls. P ( r e d b a l l ) = 1 5 P now since each case is equally probable , probability of each case= 1 5 1 We have to find the probability of Case 1 = ( 1 5 ) × 1 1 5 × ( 1 + 4 5 + 3 5 + 2 5 + 1 5 ) = 1 3 ( .
