Answer:
[tex]P(Brown) = 0.0556[/tex] or [tex]P(Brown) = \frac{1}{18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Total = 18[/tex]
[tex]Green = 2[/tex]
[tex]Black = 5[/tex]
[tex]Blue = 8[/tex]
[tex]Brown = 1[/tex]
[tex]Red = 1[/tex]
[tex]White = 1[/tex]
Required
Determine the probability of selecting a brown ball
This is calculated as thus:
[tex]P(Brown) = \frac{Brown}{Total}[/tex]
Substitute values for Brown and Total
[tex]P(Brown) = \frac{1}{18}[/tex]
The answer can be in fraction or solved further as;
[tex]P(Brown) = 0.0556[/tex]
