Answer 1

a) 1/6

Explanation:

Rebecca has a container that holds:

6 white ribbons

4 blue ribbons

2 red ribbons.

The total number of ribbons is given as:

6 white ribbons + 4 blue ribbons + 2 red ribbons = 12 ribbons

The probability of her picking a red ribbon without looking is calculated as:

Number of red ribbons/ Total number of ribbons

= 2 red ribbons/ 12 ribbons

= 1/6

The probability of her picking a red ribbon without looking is 1/6

Option a is the correct Option.
