Formula : 

Probability = number of favourable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

 

Total outcomes = 8 + 14 + 10 

                             = 32

 

probability of getting white ball = 8/32

                                                       = ¼ or 0.25

probability of getting green ball = 14/32

                                                         = 7/16 or 0.4375

probability of getting orange ball = 10/32

                                                           = 5/16 or 0.3125

 

Therefore, flavia is least likely to choose white ball.
