Question

the jelly bean jar has 4 flavors: 24 lemon, 26 lime, 30 orange, and 20 licorice. if leo randomly grabs 1 jelly bean, what is the probability that it will not be licorice?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of jelly beans

$$24 + 26+30 + 20=100$$

Step2: Calculate number of non - licorice jelly beans

$$100 - 20 = 80$$

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, number of favorable outcomes (non - licorice) is \(80\), total number of outcomes is \(100\). So \(P=\frac{80}{100}=0.8\) or \(80\%\)

Answer:

\(80\%\)
