Question

A jar has 15 pink gumballs, 22 green gumballs, 19 red gumballs, and 19 yellow gumballs. Which colored gumball has the greatest probability of being picked when a child randomly draws one out of the jar? Can you help #Ddd21

Answer 1

Green, because it is the greatest amount!

Answer 2

To find the actual probability of each color you do: color /total
P(pink) = 15/75 = .20
P(green) = 22/75 = .29
P(red) = 19/75 = .25
P(yellow) = 19/75 = .25
If you've calculated correctly the probabilities should add to 1 (or very close because of rounding!)
I know this is little more than the question asked but it's important for the concept.
The gumball with the greatest probability of being picked is a green gumball.
