Answer 4

Yeah, the answer is looking like 1/4 because there are 28 students and we'll just assume 7 green sticks (they didn't say how many actual sticks, just an equal number of each kind of stick) so if we assume 7 sticks per color, the probability of choosing green on the first try is 7/28 = 1/4
