A jar contains jelly beans. There are 6 red jelly beans, 6 blue jelly beans and 5 green jelly beans. You randomly take two jelly beans out to eat what is the probability that one jelly beans is red and the other jelly bean is green? Write your answer as a fraction you don’t need to simplify
The total number of jelly beans in the jar is 6 (red) + 6 (blue) + 5 (green) = 17.
The probability of selecting a red jelly bean on the first draw is 6/17.
The probability of selecting a green jelly bean on the second draw, after one red jelly bean has already been selected, is 5/16.
The total probability of selecting one red jelly bean and one green jelly bean is:
(6/17) * (5/16) = 30/272
So, the probability is 30/272.
