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.
