Answer:
choosing a green jelly bean out of a bag that contains 2 green jelly beans, 1 red jelly bean, and 5 yellow jelly beans
spinning a number less than 2 on a spinner that has four equal sections numbered from 1 to 4
choosing a spade out of a standard deck of cards that contains 13 hearts, 13 clubs, 13 diamonds, and 13 spades
Explanation:
Probability: desired outcomes divided by total outcomes.
choosing a green jelly bean out of a bag that contains 2 green jelly beans, 1 red jelly bean, and 5 yellow jelly beans
2 green jelly beans in a set of 2+5+1 = 8 jelly beans
2/8 = 0.25.
So this is part of the answer.
rolling a number less than 3 on a six-sided die
2 options(1 or 2) out of 6 possible values
2/6 = 0.3333...
Not 25%.
spinning a number less than 2 on a spinner that has four equal sections numbered from 1 to 4
1 options(1) out of four possible sections(1,2,3,4)
1/4 = 0.25
So this is part of the answer.
choosing an Oregon state quarter out a bag that contains 4 California state quarters, 3 Oregon state quarters, 6 Texas state quarters, and 3 New York state quarters
3 Oregon quarters out of 4+3+6+3 = 16 quarters
3/16 = 0.1875
Not 25%
choosing a spade out of a standard deck of cards that contains 13 hearts, 13 clubs, 13 diamonds, and 13 spades
13 cards(spades) out of a set of 52 cards
13/52 = 0.25
So this is the third option
