Answer 1

15%

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are total 80 jelly beans out of which we have to choose 1.

There are 24 yellow beans.

Now we have to find the probability that the chosen bean is yellow.

The possibility that it is a yellow jellybean is 24/80 or 30%

We can use combinations as the order is not given.

Therefore

24C1/ 80C1

= 24/80

= 12/ 40

= 6/20

=3/10

= 0.3

= 30%
