Answer:

The probability of getting two white balls is 10/21, which is equivalent to 48% approximately.

Explanation:

The figure is missing. However, we can solve the second problem.

We know there are 7 balls in total, 2 black and 5 white.

Amy draws two balls. Assuming that the balls aren't replaced after being picked, we have


P=(5)/(7) * (4)/(6) = (20)/(42)=(10)/(21) \approx 0.48

Therefore, the probability of getting two white balls is 10/21, which is equivalent to 48% approximately.
