Answer
(i) Total number of possible outcomes = 6 (six black balls)
Number of favourable outcomes (Getting a white ball) = 0
P(Getting a white ball) =
=
= 0
Hence, the probability of getting a white ball is 0.
(ii) Total number of possible outcomes = 6 (six black balls)
Number of favourable outcomes (Getting a black ball) = 6
P(Getting a black ball) =
=
= 1
Hence, the probability of getting a black ball is 1.
