Answer:

[tex]P(At\ least\ 2) = 0.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Balls = 1 to 4

Required

Determine the probability of selecting ball numbered at least 2

Here, we'll assume that all numbers have the same probability.

The probability of each ball will be:

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(At\ least\ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4)[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{4}[/tex] --- for each ball

So, the equation becomes

[tex]P(At\ least\ 2) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(At\ least\ 2) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(At\ least\ 2) = 0.75[/tex]
