A bag has 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that it is white?

Given data

• Black = 6, White = 8, Total = 14.

Concept/Approach
Favorable outcomes ÷ total outcomes.

Step-by-Step calculation
P(white) = 8 ÷ 14 = 4 ÷ 7

Verification/Alternative
Complement: 1 − P(black) = 1 − 6÷14 = 8÷14.

Final Answer
4/7
