A bag of jelly beans contains 10 red, 6 green, 7 yellow, and 5 orange jelly beans.

a) 10+6+7+5 = 28 jelly beans altogether.
10/28 =35.71% probability of selecting a red jelly.
5/28 =17.86% probability of selecting an orange jelly.
b) 6/28 =21.43% probability of a green jelly.
7/27 =25.93% probability of a yellow jelly.
6/26 =23.08% probability of a green jelly.
