There are 25 balls in a jar. Twelve (12) balls are red, 10 balls are blue, and 3 balls are white. Which of the following describes the likelihood of randomly picking a white ball?

Question

a impossible
b likely
c less likely than not
d very unlikely

Answer 1

d very unlikely

Answer 2

3/25 = 0.12 or 12% agree d

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct. Since there are only 3 white balls out of the total 25 balls, the probability of randomly picking a white ball is 3/25 or 0.12 or 12%. This means it is very unlikely to pick a white ball from the jar.
