A box contains 12 identical balls of which 5 are red, 4 blue, and the rest are green.  If a ball is selected at random from the box, what is the probability that it is green? 

Answer Details

The probability of an event can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes. In this case, we want to find the probability of selecting a green ball from the box. There are 3 green balls out of a total of 12 balls in the box, so the probability is 3/12 = 1/4. So, the answer is: The probability of selecting a green ball from the box is 1/4.
