Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of jelly - beans

$5 + 22+6=33$

Step2: Calculate probability of cinnamon jelly - bean

The number of cinnamon jelly - beans is 6. The probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{cinnamon})=\frac{6}{33}=\frac{2}{11}$

Answer:

$\frac{2}{11}$
