Question

A box contains 20 miniature golf putt-putt balls; 10 are

yellow, 6 are red, and 4 are pink. What is the probability of

picking a red golf ball, replacing it, and then picking a

yellow golf ball? Written as a percent?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

From the question, a box contains 20 miniature golf putt-putt balls out of which 10 are yellow, 6 are red, and the remaining 4 are pink.

The probability of picking a red golf ball will be:

= 6/20 × 100

= 600/20

= 30%

If the red ball is replaced, the probability of picking a yellow golf ball will be:

= 10/20 × 100%

= 50%
