Answer:

4%

Explanation:

Sample space or the total number of balls is

4Red + 3Purple + 2Pink + 41Blue = 50 balls

probability of picking a pink ball, P(Pink) is given by

P(pink) = Total no of Pink balls

Total no of balls(sample space)


P(Pink) = (2)/(50)= (1)/(25)

hence,

percent chance of picking a pink ball = P(Pink) × 100%


=(1)/(25) * 100%

= 4%
