Question

If a jelly bean machine contains 16 pink jelly beans, 34 blue jelly beans, 24 black jelly beans, and 26 purple jelly beans, what is the probability that a jelly bean chosen at random will be pink?

Answer 1

4/25

Explanation:

The answer is 4/25

Answer 2

There are 16 pink jelly beans.
There are 16+34+24+26=100 jelly beans in total.


`P=(16)/(100)=16\% = (4 * 4)/(25 * 4)=(4)/(25)`

The probability is 4/25, or 16%.
