The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability of drawing a red ball from a bag containing a black ball, a red ball, and a green ball, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of balls in the bag. The bag contains: - 1 black ball - 1 red ball - 1 green ball **Total number of balls = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3** ### Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes. We want to find the probability of drawing a red ball. There is: - 1 red ball in the bag. **Number of favorable outcomes (drawing a red ball) = 1** ### Step 3: Calculate the probability. The probability (P) of an event is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] In this case, the probability of drawing a red ball is: \[ P(\text{Red ball}) = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the ball drawn is a red ball is \( \frac{1}{3} \). ---
