Answer 1

`(3)/(17), \\0.176, \\18\%`

Explanation:

The area a total of 4+3+6+5=18 balls, consisting of:

• 4 green
• 3 red
• 6 yellow
• 5 pink

After a green ball is selected (implied that it is not replaced or put back), there will be 17 balls total, consisting of:

• 3 green
• 3 red
• 6 yellow
• 5 pink

Therefore, the probability of drawing another green one is:

`\boxed{(3)/(17)=0.176=18\%}`
