By taking the quotient between the number of yellow gumballs and the total number of gumballs, we will see that the probability is:

p = 0.17, so the correct option is C.

How to get the probability?

If we assume that all the gumballs have the same probability of being selected by the machine, then the probability of getting a yellow gumball is given by the quotient between the number of yellow gumballs and the total number of gumballs.

  • There are 74 yellow gumballs.
  • There are 86 + 74 + 103+ 94 +89 = 446 gumballs in the machine.

So the probability of getting a yellow one is:

p = 74/446 = 0.17

The correct option is C.
