Question 953651: A jar contains 15 red jelly beans, 12 yellow jelly beans, and 18 orange jelly beans.
Suppose that each jelly bean has an equal chance of being picked from the jar.
If a jelly bean is selected at random from the jar, what is the probability that it is not yellow? Answer by EdenWolf(517) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In total there are 45 jelly beans, but since we are seeing what the probability is that they are NOT yellow, subtract 12 from 45.
Thus, the probability that it is not yellow is 33/45.
