Question

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises. A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans. 38 yellow, 20 green. 28 purple. 26 blue, and the rest are orange.

Let B= the event of getting a blue jelly bean

Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean.

Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean.

Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean.

Let R= the event of getting a red Jelly bean

Let Y= the event of getting a yellow jelly bean.

Find P(R).

Short answer

The value of P(R) is$0.15$

Step-by-step solution

introduction

Probability is just the way that logical something is to occur. Whenever we're uncertain about the result of an occasion, we can discuss the probabilities of specific results — how likely they are. The investigation of occasions administered by likelihood is called insights.

explanation

The probability of getting a red jelly bean is

Probability = $\frac{\text{Numberofredjellybeans}}{\text{Total number of}\text{beans}}$

Total red jelly beans = $22$

Total beans = $150$

The probability of getting a red jelly bean is $0.15$

$P\left(R\right)=\frac{22}{150}=0.15$
