The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will determine the probability of drawing a white ball from a bag that contains a black ball, a red ball, and a green ball. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls**: - The bag contains three balls: one black ball, one red ball, and one green ball. - Therefore, the total number of balls in the bag = 3. 2. **Identify the Favorable Outcomes**: - We need to find the probability of drawing a white ball. - However, we can see that there are no white balls in the bag. The balls present are black, red, and green only. 3. **Calculate the Probability**: - The probability of an event is given by the formula: \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Outcomes}} \] - In this case, the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a white ball) = 0 (since there are no white balls). - Therefore, the probability of drawing a white ball is: \[ \text{Probability of drawing a white ball} = \frac{0}{3} = 0 \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The probability that the ball drawn is a white ball is 0. ### Final Answer: The probability that the ball drawn is a white ball is **0**.
