What is the probability that you end up with a blue golf ball? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that you end up with a blue golf ball is 23/94 or 0.24468

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A ball machine that contains 23 green golf balls, 25 red golf balls, 23 blue golf balls, and 23 yellow golf balls, randomly gives you your ball.

The number of green balls = 23

The number of red balls = 25

The number of blue balls = 23

The number of yellow balls = 23

Hence, the total number of balls = 23 + 25 + 23 + 23 = 94

We need to find the probability that end ball is blue golf ball

$Probability =\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Here, the favorable outcomes are 23 and total number of outcomes are 94.

$Probability =\frac{23}{94}\approx 0.24468$

The probability that you end up with a blue golf ball is 23/94 or 0.24468
