Question

The probability of selecting a particular color almond m&m (according to the website) from a bag of m&ms is listed below. let the probability of selecting a color be represented as br= brown, y= yellow, r= red, bl = blue, o= orange and g = green. a probability distribution is listed below. brown yellow red blue orange green probability 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 suppose that you randomly select one m&m. what is the p(r or br)?

Answer 1

Answer: P(r or br) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation: When two events are mutually exclusive, i.e., they can happen at the same time, the probability of event A occur OR event B occur is given by the sum of the probability of each one.

The question asks for the probability of selecting Red, P(r), or selecting brown, P(br). So:

The probability of Red:

P(r) = 0.1

The probability of Brown:

P(br) = 0.1

The probability of Red OR Brown:

P(r or br) = P(r) + P(br)

P(r or br) = 0.1 + 0.1

P(r or br) = 0.2

The probability of choosing Red or Brown is 0.2.

Answer 2

Omg was a weird dream last week and then they didn’t have to go back home so we had some fun of them all over tomorrow and they probably won’t get them tomorrow night but so
