Question

a bucket contains 18 baseballs, 13 softballs, and 9 tennis balls. find the theoretical probability of pulling out a softball. p(sb) = ? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of balls

$18 + 13+9=40$

Step2: Calculate probability of pulling softball

$P(SB)=\frac{13}{40}= 0.325$

Step3: Round the result

Rounding $0.325$ to nearest hundredth gives $0.32$

Answer:

0.32
