Answer 2

Concept

The probability is the likeliness of happening an event among all the events. Probability=number of event/number of total events.

Given

brown jellies=5

pink jellies=3

yellow jellies=3

green jellies=1

Explanation

1) The probability of picking a brown jelly bean =5/12

2)The probability of picking a pink jelly bean=3/12

3)The probability of picking a green jelly bean=1/12

4) The colour most picked is brown because its probability is higher than anyone else.
