: A quiz show uses a fish bowl that contains nine balls, numbered one through nine, for selecting participants. A ball is selected at random. Find the probability that the number chosen is greater than 6?

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,
p(greater than 6)= 7,8,and 9 =24 over 9. is this right.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A quiz show uses a fish bowl that contains nine balls, numbered one through nine, for selecting participants. A ball is selected at random. Find the probability that the number chosen is greater than 6?
-----------------
# of numbers greater than 6: 3
# of numbers: 9
----------------------
Prob(ball selected has a number greater than 6) = 3/9 = 1/3
