Answer:

2/3, or 66%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 3 choices and we pick at random, we have an equal 33% chance of choosing either one. We can form this equation:

3p + 3y + 3g = 9

Since we don't need green, we can eliminate that from our equation to give us:

3p + 3y = 6

Therefore, we can use probability statistics to form the equation:

[tex]P = \frac{Number of Favorable Options }{Number of Total Options}[/tex]

P = 6/9, or 2/3

Therefore, we have a 2/3 chance of choosing either Yellow or Pink, or 66%.

Hope this helped.
