Question 942670: Belly Jellies is one of Canada's leading producers of Jelly Beans. They sell factory seconds, or slightly misshapen jelly beans in common bags. You ordered a bag of beans, and found that there were 38 red beans, 32 blue beans, 25 purple beans, 25 orange beans, 58 green beans and 63 yellow beans.

Given:
A batch of jelly beans,
38 red(R), 32 blue(B), 25 purple(P), 25 orange(O), 58 green(G) and 63 yellow(Y).

Find:
probability of randomly picking 4 beans, all of which are either green or yellow.

Solution:

total number of beans = 38%2B322%2B25%2B25%2B58%2B63+=+531
total number of beans either yellow or green = 58%2B63+=+121

Probability of picking 4 yellow or green
= 121%2F531+=+0.2279+

Answer: probability of picking 4 beans either yellow or green is 0.23 (to two decimal places).
