Question

Shelby does a probability experiment. She spins this spinner and then flips a coin. Which color corresponds to an irrational number?

A. Green
B. Blue
C. Yellow
D. Purple Red

Answer 1

To find the probability of drawing a jelly bean of a particular color from a jar, divide the number of jelly beans of that color by the total number of jelly beans, and calculate accordingly for each color.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In the context of a jar of 150 jelly beans with different colors, the probability of drawing a jelly bean of a particular color can be found using this formula.

1. Find P(B) - The probability of getting a blue jelly bean: P(B) = Number of blue jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans.
2. Find P(G) - The probability of getting a green jelly bean: P(G) = Number of green jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans.
3. Find P(P) - The probability of getting a purple jelly bean: P(P) = Number of purple jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans.
4. Find P(R) - The probability of getting a red jelly bean: P(R) = Number of red jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans.
5. Find P(Y) - The probability of getting a yellow jelly bean: P(Y) = Number of yellow jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans.
6. Find P(O) - The probability of getting an orange jelly bean: Since the number of orange jelly beans is not given directly, subtract the sum of all other colors from the total to find the number of orange jelly beans, then calculate P(O) using the formula for probability.
