Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`(1)/(6)`

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Box Probability}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{\text{# of boxed flawed}}{\text{# of boxes checked}} \\\\\rightarrow (3)/(18)\\\\\rightarrow (3/3)/(18/3)\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{(1)/(6)}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
