Question

Harold sorted his jellybeans into two jars. He likes the purple ones best and the black ones next best, so these are both in one jar. His next favorites are yellow, orange, and white, and these are in another jar. He gave all the rest to his little sister. Harold allows himself to eat only one jellybean from each jar per day. He wears a blindfold when he selects his jellybeans so he cannot choose his favorites first. Make an area model that represents the probabilities. What is the probability that Harold gets one black jellybean and one orange jellybean if the first jar has black and purple jellybeans, and the second jar has yellow, orange, and 20% white jellybeans?

Answer 1

Answer: 30%

The probability of black is 60% and the probability of orange is 50%. The probability of getting both is then the product of their probabilities:

                          60% multiplied by 50%=0.6 times 0.5=0.3 of 30%

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!:)
