A Correct answer
Explanation

Total balls = 5 + 7 = 12. Probability of white = (Number of white) / (Total) = 5 / 12.

AI explanation

According to the classical definition of probability, the chance of drawing a white ball is the number of white balls divided by the total number of balls. The total number of balls is 5 + 7 = 12. Therefore, the probability of drawing a white ball is 5/12.
