A bag contains 3 red balls, 5 yellow balls and 7 pink balls. If one ball is drawn at random from the bag, what is the probability that it is either pink or red?

Correct Answer: 2/3

Explanation:

Given number of balls = 3 + 5 + 7 = 15


One ball is drawn randomly = 15C1


probability that it is either pink or red =  7 C 1   +   3 C 1 15 C 1   =   7   +   3 15   =   10 15   =   2 3
