Question

Ryan received a box of jelly beans for his birthday.

Answer 1

0.7

Explanation:

First, calculate the total number of jelly beans in the box.

`Total=16+10+12+14+8=60`

Ryan does not like licorice or lime.

`Licorice+Lime=10+8=18`

Thus, the number of jellybeans in flavors he likes will be:

`60-18=42`

Thus, the probability that he will pick a jelly bean from the full box that has a flavor he does like:

`\begin{gathered} P(he\text{ picks a flavor he likes\rparen}=(42)/(60) \\ =(6*7)/(6*10) \\ =(7)/(10) \\ =0.7 \end{gathered}`

The probability is 0.7.
