A bowl contains 18 white, 10 black and 4 red buttons, if one button is drawn at random,
a) what is the probability that it is red.
b) what is the probability that it is red or black?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a)  P = 4%2F%2818%2B10%2B4%29 = 4%2F32 = 1%2F8.



(b)  P = %2810%2B4%29%2F32 = 14%2F32 = 7%2F16.

Solved.
