Answer 1

$\huge\sf{\underline{\underline{\red{Solution}}}}$

$\sf{Probability \: of \: picking \: a \: green \: lollipop \: is \: \frac{1}{3} }$

To find:- What is the value of given problem?

Here are 3 red lollipops, 3 green lollipops and 3 orange lollipops.

So, Probability of getting one lollipop= 9C1

And probability of picking a green lollipop

$\sf{ \frac{3c1}{9c1} = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} }$
