Answer:

(p yellow) = 1/2

(p red) = 3/10

Explanation:

Find the total number of jellybeans.

10 + 6 + 4 = 20

Find the probability of selecting a yellow jellybean

(p yellow) = 10/20

reduce by 10

(p yellow) = 1/2

Find the probability of selecting a red jellybean

(p red) = 6/20

reduce by 2

(p red) = 3/10
