Final answer:

The student's question seems to be about solving a logic puzzle but lacks a specific query for a solution. Instead, the provided information allows us to explain how to calculate the individual probabilities of picking a jelly bean of a certain color from a jar containing 150 jelly beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original question seems to be a logic puzzle which involves using given clues to determine the order of people standing in line at a grocery store as well as the colors of shirts they are wearing. However, without any specific question relating to the logic puzzle, we cannot provide a solution here. Instead, let's address the probability exercises listed in association with this question.

To calculate the probability of getting a jelly bean of a certain color from the jar of 150 jelly beans:

  1. Find P(B): The probability of getting a blue jelly bean. Divide the number of blue jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.
  2. Find P(G): The probability of getting a green jelly bean. Similarly, divide the green jelly beans count by the total.
  3. Find P(P): The probability of getting a purple jelly bean follows the same method.
  4. Find P(R): Calculate the probability of getting a red jelly bean.
  5. Find P(Y): Determine how likely it is to get a yellow jelly bean.
  6. Find P(O): The probability of getting an orange jelly bean is found by subtracting the sum of the other colors from the total and dividing by 150.
