Answer: 1/2
Explanation:
Number of red balloons = 17
Number of purple balloons = 11
Number of orange balloons = 3
Number of green balloons = 1
Number of yellow balloons = 2
Total number of balloons = 34
The probability that a randomly selected balloon will be red will be:
= Number of red balloons/Total number of balloons
= 17/34
= 1/2
