According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M's, 12% of peanut M&M's are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. You randomly select four peanut M&M's from an extra-large bag of the candies. (Round all probabilities below to four decimal places: your answer should look like 0.1234, not 0.1234444 or 12.34%.) Compute the probability that exactly two of the four M&M's are yellow: Compute the probability that two or three of the four M&M's are yellow: Compute the probability that at most two of the four M&M's are yellow:

Question
According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M's, 12% of peanut M&M's are brown, 15% are
yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. You randomly select four peanut
M&M's from an extra-large bag of the candies. (Round all probabilities below to four decimal places: your
answer should look like 0.1234, not 0.1234444 or 12.34%.)
Compute the probability that exactly two of the four M&M's are yellow:
Compute the probability that two or three of the four M&M's are yellow:
Compute the probability that at most two of the four M&M's are yellow:
Compute the probability that at least two of the four M&M's are yellow:
If you repeatedly select random samples of four peanut M&M's, on average how many do you expect to be
yellow?
M&M's
With what standard deviation?
M&M's
