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. (Round
all answers to 3 places after the decimal point, if
necessary.)
(a) Compute the probability that a randomly
selected peanut M&M is not orange.
P(not orange) =
(b) Compute the probability that a randomly
selected peanut M&M is blue or yellow.
P(blue or yellow) =
(c) Compute the probability that two randomly
selected peanut M&M's are both brown.
P(both brown)
(d) If you randomly select four peanut M&M’s,
compute that probability that none of them are
orange.
P(none are orange) =
(e) If you randomly select four peanut M&M's,
compute that probability that at least one of them
is orange.
P(at least one is orange) =
