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

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The green balls are the rest: 12−5−4=312 - 5 - 4 = 3.
  2. So the probability of green is 312=14\frac{3}{12} = \frac14, option D.
