Explanation / Answer

Answer:

For all calculations, assume total number of peanut M&Ms are 100. Therefore probability of selecting any color at random will be same as its percentage.

For example probability of selecting a blue peanut M&M at random out of total 100 M&Ms will be = 23/100 = 0.23

1) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is not blue.

2) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is brown or red.

3) Compute the probability that two randomly selected peanut M&M’s are both yellow.

4) If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that none of them are red.

5) If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that at least one of them is red.
