Apackage contains 4 red, 2 green, 8 purple, and 6 blue jelly beans. what is the probability of choosing a purple jelly bean, eating it, and then choosing a blue jelly bean?

There's one piece of information missing from the question, so

in order to completely calculate the answer, we must assume the

missing number.

We have no information that helps us calculate the probability

that you will eat the first jelly bean.  So we'll have to assume that

you will definitely eat it, no matter what color it is.  The probability is 1 .

-- You start out with  (2 + 4 + 8 + 6) = 20 jelly beans in the package.

   8 of them are purple.

-- If you close your eyes and pull one out of the package, then the

probability that it will be purple is

                                                 8 / 20 .

-- You definitely eat it.  The probability of this event is 1 .

-- Now there are  19  jelly beans left in the package.

  6 of them are blue.

-- The probability of picking a blue one out of the package without peaking is

                            6 / 19 .

-- The probability of all three of these events happening is

                      (8/20) · (1) · (6/19)

                  =  (8 · 1 · 6) / (20 ·19)

                  =      48 / 380  

                  =  12/95  =  0.1263...  =  12.63...%  (rounded)   

hope this helps

answer: check all that apply, where the options?

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
