Answer from: Kimbeeeerly70111

The probability of picking a green token from a box containing 10 red, 6 blue, and 4 green tokens < the probability of picking a red marble from a bag containing 5 green, 3 red, and 4 blue marbles < the probability of picking a peach from a basket of fruit containing 7 peaches and 3 apples < the probability of picking a golf ball from a box containing 2 tennis balls and 13 golf balls.

i.e. 0.2<0.42<0.7<0.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1) the probability of picking a red marble from a bag containing 5 green, 3 red, and 4 blue marbles

Probability would be $\dfrac{\text{Red Marble}}{Total\ marble}}=\dfrac{5}{12}=0.42$

2) the probability of picking a peach from a basket of fruit containing 7 peaches and 3 apples

Probability would be $\dfrac{Peach}{Total}=\dfrac{7}{10}=0.7$

3) the probability of picking a green token from a box containing 10 red, 6 blue, and 4 green tokens

Probability would be $\dfrac{Green}{Total}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2$

4) the probability of picking a golf ball from a box containing 2 tennis balls and 13 golf balls

Probability would be $\dfrac{Golf\ ball}{Total}=\dfrac{13}{15}=0.87$

We need to arrange them in order from the event with the lowest probability of occurrence to the event with the highest probability occurrence:

So, 0.2<0.42<0.7<0.87

Hence, it becomes

the probability of picking a green token from a box containing 10 red, 6 blue, and 4 green tokens < the probability of picking a red marble from a bag containing 5 green, 3 red, and 4 blue marbles < the probability of picking a peach from a basket of fruit containing 7 peaches and 3 apples < the probability of picking a golf ball from a box containing 2 tennis balls and 13 golf balls.
