Answer:

The chances of drawing a green card on your first try is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

No. of black cards, n₁ = 3

No. of white cards, n₂ = 3

No. of green cards, n₃ = 3

We have to find the probability of drawing a green card on the first try. Probability is given by :


P=(no\ of\ favorable\ outcome)/(total\ no\ of\ outcomes)

Here,

Total no of outcomes are 9 and no of favorable outcome is 3

So,
P=(3)/(9)=(1)/(3)

Hence, the correct option is (d) " 1/3 ".
