Probability of drawing a red ball:

Total number of balls = 2 + 18 = 20

number of red balls = 2

number of green balls = 18

total number of favourble outcomes = 2

probability = number of favourable outcomes/number of total outcomes.

= 2/20 = 1/10

Therefore probability of drawing a red ball is 1/10.

Probability of drawing a green ball:

total number of balls = 2 + 18 = 20

number of green balls = 18

number of red balls = 2

total number of favorable outcomes = 18

probability = number of favourable outcomes/number of total outcomes.

= 18/20 = 9/10

Therefore probability of drawing a green ball is 9/10.
