Question

Bag contains 150 jelly beans. Toros reached into the bag 20 times and randomly selected one jelly bean. Each time, he recorded the color of the jelly bean, placed it back in the bag, and then mixed the jelly beans.

The following table represents the number of times Toros chose each color of jelly bean.
Based on these results, what is the probability that the next jelly bean Toros draws out of the bag will be yellow?

Answer 1

Ok so 150 total right? Divide that by 20 than multiply the picked up beans to find the probability of pulling a yellow jelly bean. That’s is 150/20=7.5 or 15/2. 3 (yellow jelly beans) is multiples by 7.5 which gives 15/100 chances of getting a yellow jelly bean in your next pull. Now simplify that, your welcome.
