Question

the probability of picking up a red ball from a bag containing 8 red balls and 6 white balls is.

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of balls

Total balls = red balls + white balls = \( 8 + 6 = 14 \)

Step2: Calculate probability of red ball

Probability = \( \frac{\text{Number of red balls}}{\text{Total number of balls}} = \frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} \)

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{7}\) (corresponding to the option with \( \frac{4}{7} \))
