    The correct answer option is D. 17/50.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that a jelly bean machine has 16 pink jelly beans, 34 blue jelly beans, 24 black jelly beans and 26 purple jelly beans.

    We are to find the probability of getting a blue jelly bean chosen at random.

    Total number of jelly beans = 16 + 34 + 24 + 26 = 100

    Number of blue jelly beans = 34

    P (getting a blue jelly bean) = 34/100 = 17/50

    17/50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Add all the jelly beans to get 100. There are 34 blue jelly beans. To find the probability of choosing a blue jelly bean, you make a fraction by making the fraction 34 over 100 (34/100). Simplify this to get 17/50.
