Question

Martin has 6 yellow balloons, 9 red balloons, and 5 green balloons for sale. A balloon is selected at random and sold. What is the probability that the balloon selected at random is yellow?1/49/203/203/10

Answer 1

We need to divide the event of interest, 6 possible yellow baloons, by the total number of events.

`\begin{gathered} p=(6)/(6+9+5) \\ p=(6)/(20) \\ p=(3)/(10) \end{gathered}`

The probability of selecting one possible ballon is 3/10.
