Question

A container holds 5 yellow balls, 3 blue balls and 2 red balls. You choose a ball at random. What is the probability you will pick a red ball?

Answer 1

5 yellow, 3 blue, 2 red...total = 10

P(red ball) = red balls / total balls = 2/10 which reduces to 1/5 <=

Answer 2

5 yellow + 3 blue + 2red = 10 balls in total
10 - 2 = 8
you have a 2/10 chance of getting red
2/10 reduced is 1/5 or 20%. So, you have a 20% chance of getting a red ball. Hope this helps. Please mark brainliest and have an amazing day!
