Answer:
24/60 does not like 36/60 does like
36/60 = .6 which is 60% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that Ryan will pick a jelly bean that has a flavor he likes is 0.7
What is probability?
"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."
Formula of the probability of an event A is:
[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}[/tex]
where, [tex]n(A)[/tex] is the number of favorable outcomes
is [tex]n(S)[/tex] the total number of events in the sample space.
From given data:
Ryan received a box of jelly beans with
Grape - 16
Licorice - 10
Cherry - 12
Lemon - 14
Lime - 8
So, there are total 16 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 8 = 60 jelly beans.
Ryan does not like licorice or lime.
⇒ 10 + 8 = 18 jelly beans he does not like.
This means, he likes 60 - 18 = 42 jelly beans.
Now, we find the probability of jelly beans that has a flavor he likes.
⇒ P = (number of grape, cherry, lemon jelly beans) / (total number of jelly beans)
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{42}{60}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\bold{0.7}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that Ryan will pick a jelly bean from the full box that has a flavor he does like is 0.7
