Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Probability is: (ways to get a desired result) / (total possible outcomes)

Choosing a yellow ball would be a desired result.

So, using the numbers that the question gives us,

(3 ways to get a yellow ball) / (12 golf balls total) =

3 / 12 =

1 /4

The answer is 1/4 chance.
