1. You have a jar full of M&Ms. There are four different colours of M&Ms in this jar (blue, yellow, green, and orange) and two different flavours (milk chocolate and peanut). There is equal distribution among both the different colours and different flavours. a) What is the probability of picking an M&M that is both yellow and milk chocolate? Which rule would you use? Show calculations. b) If you pick 60 M&Ms, how many of them would you expect to be both yellow and milk chocolate flavoured? Show calculations.
