Answer: 16 2/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Shape are either square or circle with both equally likely :

Hence,

P(square) = 1/2 ; P(circle) = 1/2

Color are either blue, red or green with the three equally likely ;

P(red) = 1/3 ; P(green) = 1/3 ; P(blue) = 1/3

Probability of creating a green circle :

Independent probability

P(green n circle) = p(green) * p(circle)

P(green n circle) = 1/3 * 1/2

P(green n circle) = 1/6

= 0.16666

(0.16666 * 100%) = 16.6666%

= 16 2/3%
