Acontainer contains 3 yellow, 2 orange, and 4 pink roses. without looking, if james chooses a rose from the container, what is the probability that james will select an orange rose? a pink rose? a yellow rose?

Orange rose = 3/9

Pink rose = 4/9

Yellow rose = 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find probability of picking one item, you add all the possible things you could choose. So, 3+2+4 equals a total of 9 outcomes, and that would be your denominator for your fraction of probability. From there it's really easy. Just put the amount of things your trying to find the probability for in the numerator spot.

Ex.

There are 9 total roses so that would be the denominator (?/9)

To find out the probability for picking an orange rose, you'd put the 2 in as the numerator because that is the total number of orange roses you have (2/?)

Then just put the two together (2/9).
