There are three colors of jellybeans in a jar: Red, orange, and yellow. On a random pick, the probability of getting a red jellybean is 1/8 and the probability of getting an orange jellybean is 1/4. What is the probability of getting a yellow jellybean?

Respuesta :

Answer: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a red jellybean = 1/8

Probability of getting an orange jellybean = 1/4

Probability of getting a yellow jellybean = 1 - (⅛ + ¼)

= 1 - (1/8 + 2/8)

= 1 - 3/8

= 5/8

Therefore, the probability of getting a yellow jellybean is 5/8
