In Total there are 43 jelly beans, which means that will be our denomintor.(sorry if i spelled that wrong)

12/43 are red      17/43 are white        14/43 are black = 43/43

27.9% of 43       +   39.5% of 43       +   32.6% are black = 100%

There is the highest chance that the jelly beans chosen will be white, with black following. 2 white & 3 black would be 5/43 which is 11.6% of the jelly beans in total. Of this chance there is about a 25% chance that white will be chose & 27-30% chance that black will be chosen.

I HOPE THIS HELPS <3!! & good luck.
