Rounded it would be 18% exact it would be 18.181818181818...%

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{2}{11}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of yellow hair tie = 2

The total number of hair ties = [tex]5+3+1+2=11[/tex]

If she randomly picks 1 hair tie, then the probability that she will pick yellow is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(Yellow)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of yellow ties}}{\text{Total number of ties}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{P(Yellow)}=\dfrac{2}{11}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that she will pick yellow is [tex]\dfrac{2}{11}[/tex]
