Answer:

do you have and the last answer from here?i have one more..i will add here

Explanation:

Those shortlisted are entered into a final game of chance. There are six balls in a bag (2 blue balls, 2 green balls and 2 golden balls). To win, a company needs to take out two golden balls. The first ball is not replaced.

What is the probability of any company winning advertising space on their volley ball team jerseys?

as a fraction? THANK YOU

Answer: In percentage, 14%

In fraction,
0.14=(14)/(100)=(7)/(50)

The probability of not being shortlisted = 0.86

Explanation:

It is given that, the probability of being shortlisted= 0.14

In percentage,
0.14*100=14\% [Multiply 100]

In fraction,
0.14=(14)/(100)=(7)/(50)

Let S be the event of being shortlisted and N be the event of not being shortlisted.

then
P(S)=0.14\\\text{[Since probability for sample space is 1.]}\\\Rightarrow\ P(N)=1-P(S)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(N)=1-0.14=0.86

Hence, the probability of not being shortlisted = 0.86
