Answer:

3, 6, 9 (the multiples of three within 11)

3 out of 11 numbers are multiples of 3

so you have a 3 out of 11 probability to grab a multiple of three

3/11 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of picking a ball of multiple of 3 is equals to (3/11).

What is probability?

" Probability is a mathematical expression which represents the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes."

Formula used

Probability = [tex]\frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}[/tex]

According to the question,

'B' represents the ball

Possible outcomes = { B₁, B₂, B₃, ...., B₁₀, B₁₁}

favourable outcomes multiple of 3 = { B₃, B₆, B₉}

Total number of outcomes= 11

Number of favourable outcomes = 3

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

Probability of picking ball multiple of 3 = ( 3 / 11)

Hence, probability of picking a ball of multiple of 3 is equals to (3/11).
