    mark has a drawer full of 12 yellow baseball caps and 18 white baseball caps. What is the probability of the next cap he chooses at random will be yellow?

    P(yellow) = yellow caps / Total caps
    P(yellow) = 12/(12 + 18)
    P(yellow) = 12/30

    Simplifying this fraction, we get:
    P(yellow) = 2/5
