Answer» Answer: 8 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: For the PROBABILITY of a white ball drawn from the bag to be doubled, there have to be twice as MANY white balls as there are red balls. Therefore, there have to be 6x2 = 12 white balls. But there are ALREADY 4 white balls in the bag. Hence, we have to add 8 white balls in the bag to make the number of white balls 12 |
