The total number of jelly beans in the bin is 5 + 22 + 6 = 33.
The experimental probability of scooping a cinnamon jelly bean is the number of cinnamon jelly beans divided by the total number of jelly beans:
6/33
Simplified:
2/11
Therefore, the experimental probability of scooping a cinnamon jelly bean is 2/11 or approximately 0.18.
A scoop from a bin of assorted jelly beans contained a mix of flavors.
