Answer:

1/36

Explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of chance that an event will occur. Mathematically,

Probability = expected outcome/total outcome

If a bag contains two white blocks, one red block and 3 purple block

Total outcome = 2+1+3= 6

Probability that white ball is selected = 2/6

Probability that red ball is selected = 1/6

Probability that white ball is selected = 3/6

Probability of picking a ball is 2/6 × 1/6 × 3/6

Probability of picking a ball = 6/216

Probability of picking a ball = 1/36
