A jar contains jelly beans that are red, yellow, blue, and purple. Several people reach in and grab handfuls of jelly beans, then collectively tally the number of each color: 15 red, 20 yellow, 12 blue, and 8 purple. If someone pulls out 22 jelly beans, about how many would you expect to be yellow?
1) calculate percentage of yellow jelly beans from original capture 20 / (15+20+12+8) = 4/11 or 36.364% 2) apply percentage to new amount 4/11 *22 = 8 beans
