A bag contains 8 black and 7 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?

  1. $\frac{8}{15}$
  2. $\frac{8}{7}$
  3. $\frac{7}{15}$
  4. $\frac{1}{7}$

  5. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

Total balls = 8 black + 7 white = 15. Probability of drawing white = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 7/15. Option C is correct. Option A (8/15) is the probability of drawing black. Options B and D are incorrect as they don't represent valid probability fractions for this scenario.
