Total number of balls in the box = 3 + 5 = 8

? A ball is drawn, Sample space = n(S) = 8C1 = 8

First we will find Quantity A,

Quantity A: Probability that the ball is black.

Quantity A = n(A)/n(S) = 3C1/8 = 3/8

Now,

Quantity B: Probability that the ball is white.

Quantity B = n(B)/n(S) = 5C1/8 = 5/8

∴ Quantity B > Quantity A
