There are a total of 9 jelly beans. Out of those 9, only 2 are red.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a red jelly bean at random is:
2/9
So the probability of selecting a red jelly bean is about 0.22 or 22%.
Suppose there are 9 jelly beans in a box—2 red and 7 green. If a jelly bean is selected at random, what is the probability that it is red?
