Question

You are going to play mini golf. A ball machine that contains 22 green golf balls, 18 red golf balls, 24 blue golf balls, and 25 yellow golf balls, randomly gives you your ball. What is the probability that you end up with a green golf ball? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

0.2472

Explanation:

Given the sample space

22 green golf balls,

18 red golf balls,

24 blue golf balls, and

25 yellow golf balls

The sample size is S=(22+18+24+25)= 89

The probability of getting a green golf ball is

`Pr(green- ball)= (22)/(89)= 0.2472`
