Answer 1

Answer:

Probability to win A = 5/16

Probability to win B = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Basket A has 2 green balls, 5 red balls, and 9 yellow balls.

The total number of outcome = 2 + 5 + 9 = 16

Number of red balls = 5

Probability to win = 5/16

Basket B has 3 green balls, 2 red balls, and 5 yellow balls.

Total number of outcome = 3 + 2 + 5 = 10

Number of red balls = 2

Probability to win = 2/10 = 1/5
