Question

Select the correct answer.

Tim has 30 jellybeans, with equal numbers of three flavors-raspberry, pineapple, and orange. He likes raspberry the best. So far, Tim has eaten
6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans. What are the chances that the next one he picks will be raspberry?

Answer 1

50%

Step-by-step explanation: Edmentum !

Answer 2

Before Tim ate any of the jellybeans, here are numbers:

pineapple or p =10

raspberry or r = 10

orange or o = 10

Tim has eaten 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans. Hence, what's left are:

p = 10-4 =6

o = 10-6 =4

r = 10 so now total jelly beans are 20

So the probability of getting a raspberry is:

p(r) = number of r/total

10/20 or 50%
