Final answer:

To find the probability of an event, you divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of an event, you divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, there are 26 total blue jelly beans out of 150 total jelly beans, so the probability of getting a blue jelly bean is 26/150. To calculate the probability of getting a green, purple, red, yellow, or orange jelly bean, you would divide the number of each color by the total number of jelly beans.
