    26)

    Remember that the probability of picking a ball of a certain colour is given by dividing the number of balls of the colour in question divided by the total number of balls.

    For the first part, there are 3 red balls with a total of (3+2+3=) 8 balls. So the probability of having a red ball is given by:



    Can you do the rest?

    For the last question, the total number of balls changes, so be careful with this.

    Post what you get :)
