Question

Nerissa has five pink balls, one blue boat, and four purple walls in a box. She will randomly choose one object from the box. What is the probability that she will choose a pink ball?

(A) 1/10
(B) 1/2
(C) 1
(D) None of the above

Answer 1

The probability of choosing a pink ball is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of choosing a pink ball, we need to know the total number of objects in the box and the number of pink balls. In this case, there are five pink balls out of a total of 10 objects (5 pink balls + 1 blue boat + 4 purple walls). Therefore, the probability of choosing a pink ball is 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2.
