Question

. A box contains 6 green and 5 yellow balls. What is the probability of picking a green ball?

Answer 1

6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

total Balls =6 +5 = 11

probablity for picking a green ball will be

6/11.

Answer 2

• Probability of picking green balls = $\sf \dfrac{6}{11}$

Given :–

• A box contains 6 green balls and 5 yellow balls.

To Find :–

• Probability of picking green ball.

Solution :–

We know that,

Probability of picking green ball,

$\longmapsto \blue{\boxed{\red{\sf \dfrac{Number \: of \: green \: balls}{Number \: of \: total \: balls}}}}$

First, we need to find the total number of balls.

So,

Total number of balls = Number of green balls + Number of yellow balls

So we have,

• Number of green balls = 6.
• Number of yellow balls = 5.

Now,

$\rightarrow 6 + 5$

$\rightarrow 11$

So, Total number of balls is 11.

Now, find the probability of picking green balls.

Now we have,

• Total number of balls = 11.
• Number of green balls = 6.

So,

$\rightarrow \tt{ Probability \: \: of \: \: green \: \: balls = \dfrac{6}{11} }$

Hence,

The probability of picking green balls is $\sf \dfrac{6}{11}$
