Question 3
In a bag of M & M’s there are 80 M & Ms, with 11 red
ones, 12 orange ones,
20 blue ones, 11 green ones, 18 yellow ones, and 8 brown ones. They
are
mixed up so that each candy piece is equally likely to be selected
if we pick
one.
a) If we select one at random, what is the
probability that it is red?
b) If we select one at random, what is the
probability that it is not blue?
c) If we select one at random, what is the
probability that it is red or orange?
d) If we select one at random, then put it back,
mix them well and select
another one, what is the probability that both the first and second
ones are
blue?
e) If we select one, keep it, and then select a
second one, what is the
probability that the first one is red and the second one is
green?
