Answer 1

The correct answer is C, as long as there is supposed to be a slash there. ;)

Have an awesome day!

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (C) $\dfrac{13}{18}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a bucket holds 10 white golf balls, 3 pink golf balls, and 5 yellow golf balls. Jason selects 1 golf ball from the bucket at random.

We are to find the probability that the golf ball he selects is white or pink.

Here,

number of favourable cases

= no. of white balls + no. of pink balls

= 10 + 3

= 13,

And total number of cases = total no. of balls = 10 + 3 + 5 = 18.

Therefore, the required probability  that the golf ball he selects is white or pink is given by

$P=\dfrac{\textup{no. of favourable cases}}{\textup{total number of cases}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{13}{18}.$

Thus, the required probability is $\dfrac{13}{18}.$

Option (C) is correct.
