correct, except that you still misspelled "randomly"

total highlighters: 10
yellows: 2
so P(yellow) = 2/10

you have posted many questions, of varying degree of difficulty, but surely these last two have not been hard for you to solve. Why post them? And why not show your proposed solution? You've mooched long enough.

To find the odds of Arjun drawing a yellow highlighter, we first need to determine the total number of highlighters in the pencil case.

Given that there are:
- two yellow highlighters
- three blue highlighters
- one green highlighter
- four pink highlighters

The total number of highlighters in the pencil case is 2 + 3 + 1 + 4 = 10.

Next, we can determine the specific odds of drawing a yellow highlighter by dividing the number of yellow highlighters by the total number of highlighters:

Odds of drawing a yellow highlighter = Number of yellow highlighters / Total number of highlighters

Odds of drawing a yellow highlighter = 2 / 10

Simplifying this fraction gives us:

Odds of drawing a yellow highlighter = 1/5 or 0.2

Therefore, the odds of Arjun drawing a yellow highlighter are 1 in 5 or 0.2.
