Final answer:
To determine the probabilities of landing on different colors in a spinner, one needs to know the number of segments of each color and the total number of segments. For jelly beans, the probability of picking a specific color is calculated by dividing the number of jelly beans of that color by the total number of jelly beans.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of an event is a measure of how likely that event is to occur. If we imagine a spinner with various colors, the probability of landing on a specific color is calculated by taking the number of segments of that color and dividing it by the total number of segments.
Without knowing the exact distribution of colors on the spinner, we cannot provide an answer for the probabilities of landing on yellow, green, or blue. To solve a problem like this, we would need to know the total number of segments as well as how many of those are yellow, green, and blue respectively.
For the jelly bean problem provided, the probabilities are found by dividing the number of jelly beans of a particular color by the total number of jelly beans. P(B), P(G), and the probabilities for the other colors can be found as follows:
- P(B) = number of blue jelly beans / total jelly beans
- P(G) = number of green jelly beans / total jelly beans
- (...and so on for the other colors...)
Without the exact numbers from the actual problem statement, we cannot solve these exercises.
Notes on Additional Problems:
The probability of P(EM) would represent the probability of the number cube landing on both an even number and a multiple of three simultaneously. The probability of P(E OR M) represents the probability of the number cube landing on either an even number or a multiple of three (or both).
