Question

There are six balls in the bag. Two are basketballs, three are playground balls, and one is a soccer ball. What is the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are six balls in bag

             Basketballs=2

             Playground balls =3

             Soccer ball =1

To Find : the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball

Solution :

Total no. of balls = 6

No. of soccer balls = 1

Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

Since total outcomes = total no. of balls =6

And favorable outcome = no. of soccer balls = 1

Thus , Probability of getting soccer ball = $\frac{1}{6}$

Hence the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$
