Box containing 2 white ball and 3 red ball A={ chosen a ball is red} i) write down elements of A and sample space ii) are the outcomes in A are equally likely? explain and find P(A)

Answer 1

Sample space is the set of all possible outcomes.

With two white balls (W) and three red (R), the sample space of the box is {W W R R R} with size 5.

Event A is choosing a red ball. Each red ball is no different than another, so picking any R is equally likely. There are 3 R in the sample space of 5, so P(A) = 3/5
