Question

If there are 2 red balls, 2 blue balls, and 4 green balls in a pail, what is the probability of pulling out a green ball?

(step-to-step pls)

Answer 1

It’s 50 percent chance of pulling out a green ball.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1 is to find the total number of balls in the pail.

There are 8 balls in total

Now that you know there are 8 balls, you have to find out how many of those 8 are green. This is because you want to pull out a green ball. You would do the same thing for any other colored ball.

Since 4 out of the 8 balls in the pail are green, you can write this as 4/8

The last step is to simplify to get 1/2 which in other terms is 50%.

So the probability of you pulling a green ball is 50%
