The distribution of colours of beads in a bowl ... - JAMB Mathematics 2001 Question

The distribution of colours of beads in a bowl is given above. What is the probability that a bead selected at random will be blue or white?
A
7/15
B
2/5
C
1/3
D
1/15
correct option: c

Total number of beads

= 1+2+4+5+3

=15

Number of blue beads = 1

P(Blue beads) = 1/15

Numbers of white beads = 4

P(white beads) = 4/15

∴P(Blue of white beads)

= P(Blue) + P(White)

= 1/15 + 4/15

= 5/15

= 1/3
