Roberto Downs · Answer 1

Yaron would least likely pick blue because blue is the smallest and least number compared to green, brown, and yellow.

Blue is 4/27

Green is 5/27

Brown is 12/27

Yellow is 6/27

and so compared to all of the other fraction too Blue is least likely.

Dakota Newman · Answer 2

If he selects a pencil at random, he would be least likely to select a blue pencil because there aren't as many blue pencils compared to the rest.
