whoever answers this ill like you

Answer 1

Rounded it would be 18% exact it would be 18.181818181818...%

Answer 2

Answer:
`(2)/(11)`

Explanation:

Given: The number of yellow hair tie = 2

The total number of hair ties =
`5+3+1+2=11`

If she randomly picks 1 hair tie, then the probability that she will pick yellow is given by :-

`\text{P(Yellow)}=\frac{\text{Number of yellow ties}}{\text{Total number of ties}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{P(Yellow)}=(2)/(11)`

Hence, the probability that she will pick yellow is
`(2)/(11)`
