Answer

Total number of outcomes = 3 yellow + 5 white + 7 green balls = 15

Let E be the event of not getting black balls.

The number of favorable outcomes to the event E = 15

∴ P(E) = Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=1515=1\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \dfrac{15}{15} = 1

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
