We are given that a bag contains:

- 4 red sweets
- 3 blue sweets
- 2 yellow sweets

To find the probability of selecting a yellow sweet, we use the formula for probability:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
\]

Here:
- The favorable outcomes are choosing a yellow sweet, so there are 2 yellow sweets.
- The total number of sweets is \(4 + 3 + 2 = 9\).

Thus, the probability of choosing a yellow sweet is:

\[
\frac{2}{9}
\]

This fraction is already in its simplest form.

### Tip: 
Probabilities are always between 0 and 1, and they represent how likely an event is to occur. The closer to 1, the more likely the event.

What is the probability that a sweet chosen at random from the bag will be yellow?

Calculate the probability of selecting a yellow sweet from a bag containing 4 red sweets, 3 blue sweets, and 2 yellow sweets. This simple probability problem involves dividing favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
