Question

A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans, 38 yellow, 20 green, 28 purple, 26 blue, and the rest are orange. Let B = the event of getting a blue jelly bean Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean. Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean. Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean. Let R = the event of getting a red jelly bean. Let Y = the event of getting a yellow jelly bean. Find P(R)

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{11}{75}$

Step-by-step explanation:

R is the event of getting a red jelly bean. 22 out of the 150 jelly beans are red. That means it is a $\frac{22}{150}$ chance of getting a red jelly bean.

Simplified that is $\frac{11}{75}$
