Let X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6 denote the numbers of blue, brown, green, orange, red, and yellow M&M candies, respectively, in a sample of size n. Then these Xi's have a multinomial distribution. Suppose it is claimed that the color proportions are p1 = 0.22, p2 = 0.13, p3 = 0.18, p4 = 0.2, p5 = 0.13, and p6 = 0.14. (a) If n = 12, what is the probability that there are exactly two M&Ms of each color? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) For n = 20, what is the probability that there at most eight orange candies? [Hint: Think of an orange candy as a success and any other color as a failure.] (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) In a sample of 20 M&Ms, what is the probability that the number of candies that are blue, green, or orange is at least 8? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
