Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Probability: Jelly Beans | Worksheet | Probability ...
I'll solve this probability problem step by step based on the image provided.

First, let me analyze what I can see in the image:
- There are 12 jelly beans shown in a row
- The colors of the jelly beans are: pink, yellow, green, pink, yellow, green, pink, yellow, green, pink, yellow, white
- So we have: 4 pink, 4 yellow, 3 green, and 1 white jelly bean

Now I'll answer each question:

1. What is the probability of picking a white jelly bean?
- There is 1 white jelly bean out of 12 total
- Probability = 1/12

2. What is the probability of picking a pink jelly bean?
- There are 4 pink jelly beans out of 12 total
- Probability = 4/12 = 1/3

3. What is the probability of picking a green jelly bean?
- There are 3 green jelly beans out of 12 total
- Probability = 3/12 = 1/4

4. What color is most likely to be picked?
- Pink and yellow both have 4 jelly beans each (most of any color)
- So pink and yellow are equally most likely to be picked

5. What color will you probably pick least often?
- White has only 1 jelly bean (least of any color)
- So white will be picked least often

6. What is the probability of picking a jelly bean that is not yellow?
- There are 4 yellow jelly beans, so 12 - 4 = 8 that are not yellow
- Probability = 8/12 = 2/3

7. What is the probability of picking a jelly bean that is not green?
- There are 3 green jelly beans, so 12 - 3 = 9 that are not green
- Probability = 9/12 = 3/4

8. What is the probability of picking a pink or yellow jelly bean?
- There are 4 pink + 4 yellow = 8 pink or yellow jelly beans
- Probability = 8/12 = 2/3

Bonus: If you add 3 more green and 1 more white jelly bean to the paper bag, what is the probability of picking a green bean?
- Original: 3 green, 1 white, 4 pink, 4 yellow = 12 total
- After adding: 3+3=6 green, 1+1=2 white, 4 pink, 4 yellow = 16 total
- Probability of picking a green bean = 6/16 = 3/8

This completes all the questions on the worksheet.
