A yellow ball, a red ball, a white ball and a

black ball are placed in a barrel. Two balls
are drawn out of the barrel at random. What is the probability

Answer:

1/4 chance (this is equal to 25% as a percentage or 0.25 as a decimal)

Explanation:

There are 4 balls and only one can be first. As there is only 1 yellow ball, there is 1/4 chance that the yellow ball is picked first.
