The answer is B) 0.17.

To find the probability of picking a red balloon at random, we divide the number of red balloons by the total number of balloons:

Probability of picking a red balloon = Number of red balloons / Total number of balloons

In this case, the number of red balloons is 3 and the total number of balloons is 17.

Probability of picking a red balloon = 3/17

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 0.17.

I apologize for the earlier incorrect response. You are correct that the probability of picking a red balloon at random from a total of 17 balloons with 3 being red is actually P = 3/17 ≈ 0.18. So the answer is C) 0.18, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
