See below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $probability=\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{number of all outcomes}}$ a) The number of good outcomes is $243$ The number of all outcomes is $243+26=269$ Hence the probability here is: $\frac{243}{269}$ b) The number of good outcomes is $13$ The number of all outcomes is $13+18=31$ Hence the probability here is: $\frac{18}{31}$
