Answer: 45%
Explanation:
(a) To find the probability of drawing a red ball, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a red ball) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Number of red balls = 5
Total number of balls = 5 red balls + 6 white balls + 9 yellow balls = 20 balls
Probability of drawing a red ball = Number of red balls / Total number of balls
= 5 / 20
= 1/4
= 0.25
Therefore, the probability of drawing a red ball is 0.25 or 25%.
(b) To find the probability of drawing a white ball, we follow the same process:
Number of white balls = 6
Probability of drawing a white ball = Number of white balls / Total number of balls
= 6 / 20
= 3/10
= 0.3
Therefore, the probability of drawing a white ball is 0.3 or 30%.
(c) To find the probability of drawing a yellow ball:
Number of yellow balls = 9
Probability of drawing a yellow ball = Number of yellow balls / Total number of balls
= 9 / 20
= 9/20
Therefore, the probability of drawing a yellow ball is 9/20 or 0.45 or 45%.
